Quiet Book - Page 8: Lacing & Tying

What little girl hasn't at one point or another dreamed of becoming a ballerina? Even if that dream lasted but for a moment.  I'll admit that even I - a self-proclaimed tom boy while growing up - recall a few brief moments when I wanted to be a ballerina.  Besides, lacing up a pair of ballet shoes is much more fun than lacing up a pair of plain old every day boring shoes. 
Hopefully the little this page is intended for, will love lacing up this ballerina's slipper and maybe someday dream - even for a brief moment - of swirling around in a poofy tutu. 
Naturally, since the second of the two quiet books I made was for a little boy and not a little girl, I had to come up with something a little different for his book.  Luckily, I didn't have to look far for inspiration.  This little guy's daddy is a huge sports fan!  And what is one of the most popularized sports in America?  Football!
 I'm sure this football doesn't meet proper specification of what a football is supposed to look like, but ehhh it's close enough.  Besides, my football is perfect for lacing up and learning how to tie bows on.
