Our Fav. Ballerina's home away from home :)

Just a quick post of my beautiful Hays outside her 2nd home in Lincoln Center (NYC).  This is the famous fountain that's been in movies.  It's one of my most fav. places in the city.  I have some hilarious pics of the other kids dancing and jumping along to it as it shoots water many feet high.  It's quite a sight!  But, it was a calm fountain day on Sunday as we dropped our oldest girl off.  She pretty much refused to do a ballet shot in front of the fountain, but after I told her she'd get a 5 week break from me taking pics of her, she agreed to one simple pose. 

So far so good with her 3rd day of classes.  She had two fabulous new teachers yesterday and I have no doubt today was just as good.  Knowing she is learning from the best ballet teachers in the U.S. and probably the world is such a blessing.  So far she's ventured out in the "neighborhood" (near this fountain)...to Starbucks, Duane Reade (like Walgreens) and Lululemon (sportswear store).  She's been feasting on food in the Juilliard Cafe and even had Sushi last night b/c the grill was broken (she usually eats pizza or a Philly cheesesteak every day).  She has a sweet roommate from CA, and she knew at least half her suitemates already.  So she's got a good lil' friend-basis going on.  She's been busy with floor meetings and activities, and tonight she'll venture out to the city on the tour bus (something she's done every year and enjoys).  We're so proud of our independent and mature Hays.  I almost wish I was there having all these fun experiences.  But, boring Bloomy calls my name! haha :)  Live it up, Hays, and hope you make lots of fun memories and learn a ton!
