The New Mother

At 10am this morning a brand new life was recognized. 
Her name is Baby and Lily has become her NEW mother.
proud new mother
This isn't a NEW baby, it seems Lily just decided that today was the day "Baby" was "the thing".

It's really quite sweet.
"Hi Lily, whatcha doin'?"
"Shhhhhh!!! Baby's sleepin'"
"Oh, sorry."
"Tipey toe, Baby will cry!"

learning the goods
I also found her telling Baby what a big girl she was.

sweet lil' kisses
And kissing Baby.

I asked if I could hold Baby and she said,
"No! My Baby."

So that's where we left off!

Monday Manic

Whew! It's nice to sit down!
I had a pretty busy day.
This morning I had an Ortho. appointment.
Then right afterwards I babysat for 4 hours.
Immediately following was ballet!
Now I'm home, taken my shower, and TIRED!

Anywho, I took some picture of my ballet shoes!
Mainly to show it's time for some new ones!
I'm going to be optimistic and say I'll have new one's by the end of the summer.
But... China.
hanging pointe shoes (Color)

In class we use the term "soft" when are shoes are wearing out.
Cause brand new ones are SUPER hard. 
The first few weeks we "break them in".
scuffed pointe shoes (Color)
Then they get "soft"!
One pair is about $70-$100, and you buy a pair about every 4-6 months!
Yeah, it's alot!

So... you guy's want a color preview of Black and White Wednesday??
Golden Paradise (Color)
Just a bit of whats to come!
