"Are you cheating and leaning on the wall ? " I ask her
" This is very hard you know!" she replies.
"Well done " I say . she's moved away from the wall and is balancing all on her own!
"I have a present for you , come and look " Sasha stops her practice and looks over to where I am pointing.
" I just could not resist it " I tell her " I think it will look perfect on you , what do you think? "
"Oh I love it " sighs Sasha
"Well it will fit it was made by a very talented lady in Australia called Kath Barnett " I tell her "she makes lots of lovely dresses and they fit fine "
Sasha stares at me with a pleading look, so what's one to do. "Okay you can try it on !"
She whoops with joy taking the dress from it's hanger
"What are you doing!"
"trying it on! You said I could!" she says worriedly
"Yes you can but you need to take your ballet dress off first!"
She starts whooping again then says "Well I had best try on the shoes with it !" she studies me and comes in with the killer " because it would look silly with these ballet pumps...." She waits expectantly...
"All right"
"Tra - laa!!" she says happily showing off the dress and shoes "Look my shoes are almost a perfect match to one set of the blue roses in the dress! How clever you are!" she smiles and does a few spins.
I do't tell her it was a lucky coincidence, I take the glory!!
"So you like it then? " I ask " We can put it in your wardrobe? "
"I love it" says Sasha " Maybe I should keep it on? So my new mum will buy another ticket!"
"I think we'll wait because there are more things to come to go in your wardrobe and you may prefer to wear one of them"
Sasha's not convinced and it's a struggle to get her back in her ballet outfit but I promise she can chose which outfit she will wear on the big day and so she's content ...for now....
