Ella Bella Ballerina

So for as long as I can remember, I've wanted a little girl.

That God has blessed me with two amazing, beautiful, sweet, healthy little tiny girl people....well, it really blows me away. I really could not ask for more.

And oh, do I loooooooooove doing girly girl things with my Ella Bella and Kate the great. I was a little reluctant to enter Ella in ballet class because I thought 2 and a half was little too young.

To say I was wrong would be an understatement.

Ella LOVED ballet class. She listened to "Miss Jessica" from the moment she walked into the room. She performed every little 'exercise' Miss Jessica asked her to perform; and she did them all really, really well. With complete enthusiasm, complete attention. And utter enjoyment.

I felt guilty dressing Ella up like a ballerina girl and not Kate; so I bought Kate a matching outfit. She didn't protest against the legwarmers like Ella did.

Although she wouldn't give the cheesy poofs away to save her life, she loved ballet class too. She actually performed many of the exercises, without even being asked.

It was A...DORE...ABLE!

I smiled ear to ear the entire time. I called both Chris and my mom to report the play-by-play. And I live 4 minutes from the ballet studio.

Little tiny girls in leotards and bows and tutus; taking ballet class together; on what used to be a 'work' day?

I am in total bliss and I am so, so grateful for this wonderful life.
