I don't know if 
two parents could be any more proud... or continue to be any more surprised by their five and a half year old. Last Sunday was E's ballet recital and she amazed us.
Even though she got a little nervous the day before, she was a rock for the actual recital. She went through the whole evening in her various staging areas (first a green room, then special seating to watch the performance, then back to the green room) and finally her class's turn to dance. Our little performer (?) caught sight of her family in the third row back and during her free dance portion she twirled her way right over! During the intermission, J went to go get her, thinking that she was done and ready to come sit with us for the rest of the show. She shooed him away, telling him she had to go on for last bows! Who was this little girl?
Here, L enjoys some snuggles from his sister- with her
"post-ballet" ponytail and waves.Speaking of hair, we delayed what we knew was the best choice for a summer hairstyle. Shorter. The long hair, as gorgeous as it was, was becoming a maintenance issue. She did not enjoy the morning chore of brushing- nor did I.... And I have to say, the result is so, so cute. The pictures really tell the story best.

During: (both mommy and daughter had cold feet)
After! Wow! The whooshing and swooshing! Freedom!
The pony of hair is being sent to Locks of Love.
