Today was Ella's very first ballet recital. She has been practicing all year. She always comes home and teaches me some new french word. She is very serious about her ballet. This morning I told Livi we have to take a good nap so that we can go to the dance recital. She said "I dance with sissy" and I said "sure just go to bed". Well when she woke up she was determined that she was also dancing on stage with sissy. She told me that she needed a costume like her sister. So I put on a cute little tu-tu skirt that we have and a tank top. This worked for her. In her mind she was ready to dance on stage. When we got there all the dancers were sitting on the side getting ready to go on. I look up and there is my just barely two year old sitting right next to them. She was NOT taking no for an answer. I begged her to come and sit in the audience, but every time I let go she ran back to the dancer area. :) I took her to the back of the room and said a little prayer that we wouldn't have to miss Ella's recital. She finally calmed down and enjoyed the show. Afterwards we let her go up on stage and dance with her sister. She thought it was great! Ella was wonderful! She just loves to be on stage. I am not sure where she gets that from :)
