Just the girls


Ella decided to put on her leotard and dance shoes - and she's never even been in a dance class. I guess I need to get her in one. She keeps asking me to teach her ballet, because she knows I've taken a couple years of ballet classes. I showed her a few simple things, like Grand Jetes and the five arm and foot positions. Click on the picture to enlarge it - Ella's sticking her tongue out in concentration, which I think is hilarious.


And here are all us girls. I feel blessed to have such beautiful children. I try to remind myself of that every time I feel overwhelmed and frustrated. Which can be relatively often.

Ella quote: "No, Mommy, it's a ballet dress, not a leotard."

Lear quote: (This is a song that he's composed recently.) "Mars, Mars, what is Mars? Stick in some bubblegum, and you got Mars!"

So how's it feel to have just you and the girls at home during the day now? Is Lear adjusting well to school?
