Fairy dressup

Abi's fascination with ballet and fairies has had a positive effect on her willingness to change clothes by herself. Every now and then, during a day at home, she will disappear into her room to emerge wearing one of her 2 ballet dresses, complete with ballet slippers. Often she has stripped off her warm jackets and is wearing a new pink or white t-shirt over her thermal underwear. Then Abi starts dancing, usually with arms over her head or standing on one leg (tippy toes of course) with other leg outstretched in an arabesque. Often she will ask her mother to lift her into the air like in the ballet book.
