Courtney got her first pair of pointe shoes! Jan. 13, 2008


On January 13,2008 Courtney got her first pair of pointe shoes. Her whole point class had to meet at a dance store in Chattanooga for their fittings. We drove down with her friend Miranda and tried on point shoes for at least an hour. Courtney has the biggest feet! We had a hard time finding just the perfect pair. Finally we found the ones she liked! Now if she can get herself up on her toes we will be in business. After we got our shoes, toe pads, ribbons and elastics we were on our way to lunch. We stopped at a restaurant named Sticky Fingers. Many of the older girls at the dance studio talk about this restaurant and wear t-shirts from there. Needless to say we came home with our very own Sticky Fingers t-shirt! We had a fun day! I can't believe that Courtney is already old enough for pointe shoes! It seems like only yesterday when she was 3 years old and in her very first ballet class.

Oh how fun! I never got that far in ballet.
There is a Sticky Fingers in Charleston, SC that we always go to. You can also buy "Sticky Fingers" BBQ sauce at Ingles!
