I posted on Facebook that Gem wants to be a dinosaur ballerina when she grows up, and our my cousins responded with shock. The shock, it turns out, was appropriate. Unbeknownst to us, they were in the midst of planning a dinosaur ballerina birthday party<\/strong> for their soon-to-be 3-year-old. Their little girl is even more crazy about dinosaurs than Gem, and knows ALL<\/em> the dinosaurs.<\/p>\n

This should be cute, I thought.<\/p>\n

I had no idea.<\/em><\/p>\n

When we arrived at the birthday party, Gem was helped into a dinosaur tail and tutu.<\/p>\n

My happy little girl was giddy. Dinosaur Ballerina!<\/p>\n

The weight of the tail dragging behind them cause the kids, especially the littlest ones, to exaggerate their waddle as they walked.<\/p>\n
