Ballerina Girl

Today we had the "dress rehearsal" for Julia's dance studio at the civic center. Can I tell you it took FOUR and a HALF hours? I had no idea and was totally unprepared. Seasoned moms had toys and snacks and a plan for entertaining their kiddos- I just looked at Julia and said "darn". :) Here's my pretty ballerina... Yes, momma did the bun herself- and it was a pony tail by the time we got to the stage. :) This costume was a butterfly- I forgot to put the pink wings on for the picture. So precious!
Part of the time we went and played in the lobby. Here she is in her "teddybear picnic" outfit. I said, "make some dance poses". Here is Julia's interpretation of that request...
Sweet...

Grand...
Oh...a leg behind....something new...
Sure, okay... And it was her first time to wear lipstick!
A fun day for Julia in dancehall purgatory for momma. I love you little teddy bear!

I cannot believe it took that long. She is a little doll!
And about 'E' names, Ellie Kate has already decided on Sweetie for a girl and Bouncey for a boy. She told me that I'm having one of each.

Wow, that's a long time. I hope you didn't have all the kids with you? But Julia looks so, so sweet. Love the poses.
