Alice’s ballet recital is fast approaching. I was forced privileged to go to the lesson where the costumes were handed out for the first time. The girls were all very excited and when they realized the costumes had sparkly things attached well — it was almost too much for them. It does point out why perhaps the classes are predominantly or only girls, though. I am hard pressed to imagine Charles or Corwin getting excited at all about new clothes, unless they had laser blasters or rocket assisted artillery built in.
