Baby Ballerina. . .

How thankful I am for a day of rest! This has been a really busy week. . .

Gracie's best friends, Amber and Trinity, were with us this week. The girls have had a ball (and I am still standing:)). The first thing Gracie says each morning is "when are MY girls getting here?" It is so sweet to see her forming relationships at such a young age. She has learned a ton from them, too. Interestingly enough, I have seen a totally different side of my child. I think she has a bit of "Class Clown" in her. She loves to make the girls laugh. I will admit a few of her tricks have made me worry about how she will be in school, but hopefully pulling her pants down won't be funny then!!!

Saturday brought more excitement, as she spent the day with Amma and Poppy. Amma took her to her first Craft Sale. Of course, she came home with a stack of loot, but one thing has really captured her heart. Amma got her a hot pink tutu! If it were me, we would have worn it with a tee-shirt, but because it was Amma, they also got a leotard, pair of tights and "ballet" slippers. She has only taken them off to sleep and go to church! It is really amazing to watch her dance. She only knows the first three positions, how to do a pirouette, pliƩ, and an arabesque, but hey, she is only two! So here is the first of many photos of my baby ballerina. . .

By the way, great news ~ the doctor called early last week to let us know all of her test results came back totally normal! Brey told her the doctor said she was all better and guess what? No more complaints!!! It has been 5 peaceful nights! Praise God! I hate to think it was just manipulation, but on the other hand, I am so glad it was JUST manipulation! Thanks for your prayers. . .
