My Baby Ballerina

I'm so proud my heart has swollen up in my chest :)
Greenleigh had her first dance class last night. Keep in mind she is barely two, so I'm starting her really early.

She woke up yesterday morning asking me if it was time for dance, and she kept saying, "I'm going to dance, Mama. It's MY turn!" When we got there, the girls in the class before her weren't finished and she pitched a fit to go on in, saying "It's MY turn, Mama!" Yes, baby, I know it's your turn, you just have to wait three more minutes...

When we walked in though, she turned to me and said, "You gonna dance with me, Mama?" I put her on her yellow circle and tried to sneak off to the side... it didn't work. She cried and screamed for me, even when Mandi bribed her with Skittles, until Lisa looked at me and said, "Get out there and do it with her!"

So I did. Which is why you see me in all of her pictures and not just her. She wasn't having it. I'm pretty sure she's gonna be a jazz girl, she did so well. I was a proud Mama, for her age she did great! Even if I had to be right beside her the whole time.

When it was time for gymnastics, she was excited. She loves to swing and slide... but she doesn't like to flip. Every time we'd try to make her flip or do a backbend, she was terrified, and kept saying "I don't like to roll!" And clinging to me. I felt bad... but I also know she's going to get better so I made her do it.

Tabitha met us there with her camera and took 396 pictures. Let me give you that one more time: 396. As in three hundred and ninety six. Almost four hundred.
 She's worse than me.

So here's a few of my favorite shots.

The Best Thing That's Ever Been Mine

I've started our love story.
The journey I went on that led me down this road to the love of my life.
It's called "The Best Thing That's Ever Been Mine", and you'll discover why this is so fitting as our story unfolds.
It's in a completely separate blog, and it's completely public.
I'm okay with that. There is nothing about my road to this man that I'm embarrassed about.

To start reading wayyy more than you ever wanted to know about this girl,
