Dancing Fairies and Tough Cookies

No pictures to commemorate this awesome phase we're in (yet!). But.... I have a little fairy who dances and twirls anytime there's music or better yet, when she creates her own fantastic sweet little songs. She has her first ballet class today and she is more than beyond excited! Her cheering crew will be arriving at the studio with her and all (Mommy, Daddy, and Ben) of us are ready to show her how awesome she is! Her brother is probably as excited as she is.

As I type she's goovin to the music playing to my computer. So sweet!

As for my tough cookie..... I love how harded he is. He is not one to back down from anything that he wants. Sometimes (often?!) this poses a heartache on my part and exhausts me but this personality trait is going to serve him so well in so many situations! I was reminded of his determination yesterday when he was learning to skate on hockey skates - rather than his figure skates that he had mastered. Despite the fact that there were other boys cruising past him while he was flailing, he gritted his teeth and was determined to be flying around the rink with them as soon as possible. He would observe, try, fall, stand up, observe, fall, stand up, you get the idea.... I probably would have packed up my skates and left, knowing that I would NOT be returning to that situation again. Whereas Ben is more than certain that he will persevere. He's ready to ignore his bumps, bruises and sore bum and head back to the rink as soon as it opens today! I'm so proud of his determination!

On my front, I'm determined to have some pictures of all of this soon!!!
