our little ballerina

she must have asked me a million times before lunch "mommy, where are we going again?" just to hear me say it. "ballet, honey." and then she would put that precious, shy smile on her face and go dancing off into the other room. "will i do this mommy?" she kicks her foot back behind her to hold it in her hand and puts the other hand above her head. "maybe", i say, knowing full well, that that is clearly NOT a ballet position. but adorable nonetheless. she put on her ballerina clothes, after taking a big girl nap and out the door we went. she was not one bit shy, but its probably because cousin braidyn was right beside her the whole time! they had so much fun with all their "friends" and miss jessica the teacher. aislyn did wonderful and followed instructions like a champ. you could not wipe the smile off of her face the whole time she was in there. i got some pics of the class but it was through a tiny window that i had to fight to get in front of. i will post some of those later. for now, here are a couple. i also have some cute ones of braidyn to post, too, but i need to go through them still. we will definitely be continuing ballet this spring, and i think i love it as much as she does....grayson got his very own dance lessons from liam while we were gone... here's the video. you won't want to miss it...

The older she gets, the more she reminds me of you. Those are great shots. Let's see some more. Love you.

That is just so precious to see her in her ballerina outfit! You'll have to reserve the entire auditorium for her first performance - we all want to come see! ;)
