Elliot's first year of ballet class came to a close in may with a wonderful recital at the Diana Worthem Theatre in downtown Asheville. Elliot really enjoyed her ballet class as did Danny and I because we had friends with their kids in the class and we made new friends as well. I mean, it was all about elliot:) It was so fun to see her and her fellow budding ballerinas go from very unorganized to having mastered the plie, tondue,bunny hopping, and sliding around on the floor on their bellies not listening to a word their very patient teacher was saying. Like I said before, she really enjoyed it but she started to lose interest towards the end. She kept saying, "mom, I really want to dance rock and roll". I said that is perfectly fine AFTER you perform in your recital and make me cry.
Which she did. It was about 30 seconds long but she did awesome. I am biased - but I am sure she was the best one up there. She had no fear being on stage and she was just shining like my little star. She even got flowers from her bestie Taylor (not pictured) who was sweet enough to come and check out her performance with her mama. We were so happy they decided to come:)
I am not living through my kid I am not living through my kid.
I almost forgot that she turned seven months old because I think I lost the last month somewhere in my non sleeping land. She is pretty bad at the sleeping at night thing. I am going to leave it at that. No new teeth yet. Double pink eye.
She thinks Im so awesome that she really needs me on her, near her, breathing on her at least every two hours.
In this last month, She has grown a very big appetite. She is exploring a lot more because she has almost mastered sitting up. She will eventually fall and hit her head on the hardwood if left on the floor too long so we still have some strengthening to do and she is not crawling yet which I am totally fine with. Mostly because in this last month she has shown us the determined side of her personality. She is determined all the while flashing her beautiful big smile and batting those lashes, still quite the charmer. I have a feeling she might get her way in life. Go get em Baby D!
