Ballet class.

I can't believe I haven't posted about Madeleine's ballet class! Life is just getting away from me..

well not really I just have been living it!

Last Thursday night Maddie had her first ballet class.

It was also a big first for me.. see, I have never really left her [besides family as babysitters]

in any type of classroom or anything. It was hard for me to pull away from the door.. I was literally breaking my neck trying to peek the whole time.

I watched for a few minutes as my little 2 year old became a big-almost 3 year old..

[& I'm tearing up now thinking about it!]

I feel like lately seeing her grow, hearing her beautiful words, seeing her imagination soar & her love for her sister evolve has made me look at her so different..

I thought when she was born I loved her as much as a mother possilby could, but I was wrong.

I look at her with such adoring eyes now, she is a little me.

I'm so proud of the little almost 3 year old she has become & can't wait to look back a year from now to see how much more she has grown & how much more I can love her.

It is truly humbling becoming a parent.

She did amazing in her ballet class. Miss TJ is her teachers name. Maddie was by far the littlest one in her class but she listened so well! I wasn't surprised that she didn't raise her hand when Miss TJ called her name.

She did her pliés, spins & chassés perfectly [well for a 2 year old].

She had the big smile on her face, melted my heart.
