Ella had her recital today. She and her classmates did a routine to Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend (...much to the chagrin of her parents. I mean, who has 4 and 5 year olds dance to a song like that anyway?). The recital went without a hitch and Ella was beautiful. She did an amazing job dancing and in the opinion of this blogger, was the best in her class. Ella enjoyed watching the repitory company dance (older girls en pointe) and it has further strengthened her desire to dance. She's signed up for pre-ballet this summer and if she does well, we'll stick with that class in the fall instead of ballet/tap. Ella wants nothing to do with tap, but that's actually the recommended class for her age group.
Afterwards, the fam went to Chick-fil-A for Grandma's last chicken sandwich run (there's no longer one in WF) and the kids played while 50,000 strangers talked to me about the twins. "Yes, they're twins. Both boys. Two weeks. Henry and Julian. No, not my first. Seven and five. Yes, they're a big help." I'm not great talking to new people- especially with food in my mouth -so I found my enthusiasm flagging after a while. Guess I'll have to improve my public speaking abilities or print out a tri-fold pamphlet to hand out!
Ella is in the center...
Ella, you are very beautiful. I wish I could have seen your recital.

Go with a pamphlet. You'll be answering the same exact questions for the rest of your life. When I intro Aaron & Brandon I automatically add, "yes, they're twins" before it even comes up.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm planning to steal Ella away to live in a girly princess castle with me. You are allowed to visit if you bring us glitter.
Ok, I know I'm biased, but Ella looked the best. She's actually in time with the music and moves her arms in a pretty way and points her toes. That was freaking adorable.
