My little dancing darlings

My little ballerinas.

Love it, love it, love it. I love it that they know what first position is and that they can't quite pliƩ because they're knees are a little retarded. But they are adorable and that's what matters at this age, anyway, right? True to her little in-charge personality, Lexie stood on stage and spent half her time directing Izzie and making sure she was doing what she was supposed to...oh, my girls. Lexie WILL be the one to keep Izzie in line, no doubt...our police, our hall-monitor #2 (Bray was the 1st one). Interesting that our first group of three started with that personality, as does our 2nd group of three children. hmmmmm...by divine design, I suppose.

Onto the recital. I watched with utter joy, laughed my head off at my little girls and I think I loved them getting all dolled up for the event just as much as they loved it. Digressing...they're in Kinderdance which incorporates ballet, tap, singing, and some pre-school concepts. They've both really loved the 'outlet' and taking ownership of something. Izzie just joined 2 months ago; Lexie's been doing it since September. And I hope they both stay in dance for the long haul and gain some real skill. For now, they can just look darling and this stage momma will flutter up with joy.

These pics are DARLING! L&I make such a cute duo. I've got one in my house too and can't wait to see how they interact in a couple weeks.

Those girls are so cute they make me gnash my teeth just looking at them. I loved the pics, especially the one where they are loving up Vivi. Don't you just love that the last one is adored like that? Happens here too, although Tommy is now old enough to (occasionally) be a nuisance. I figure any child growing up with that much love heaped upon them will either be the most well-adjusted kid or the most obnoxious--and we are hoping the former, for Tommy.

Super sweet little girls. Mattie saw the pictures and told me that she wants to do it too! Their little outfits are too cute. See you next week.

I love Isabella's little belly! and in the first photo the shadow on Lexies fingers make her look like she has megga nails! Very, very cute

Besides their cute behinds, I love how those guts fill up those pink costumes. What is a little girl without a tutu? The world just wouldn't be the same.

I'm almost speechless - I'm supposed to be working and I find myself totally absorbed in your amazing blog w/ your amazing children and your divine happiness. It makes me miss you a lot! I'm really sad we've spent so much time away from each other. Call me when you have a free minute - k? 818.585.2522
