It’s always bittersweet for me when my children reach certain milestones in their lives.  I’m so happy for them because they’ve accomplished things yet I would love for them to stay this little.  I know there’s so much more enjoyment, albeit of a different variety, to come with each stage in life, but I love the baby/toddler stage so much.  Their joy, their absolute love–there is no lukewarmness about them.  My baby loves me and shows it.  She’s such a joy to have around.  She also has a temper and has no problems showing it.  My toddler loves Jesus and sings "Alleluia" at the top of her lungs.  My 4 year old does not.  She’s a bit more reserved, but she used to sing.  Pumpkin is one.  I just can’t stand it!!

This was not supposed to be about toddlers and babies.  I wanted to write about Sister.  She is performing in her first ballet recital.  I love the school she attends.  It’s quite a serious school.  Her Pre-Ballet class of 4 and 5 year olds will be performing as flowers in a production called A Bug’s Life written by a local woman, choreographed by Sister’s ballet instructor.  Take a look at her pictures.  Isn’t she beautiful?  Of course, I am totally unbiased. 🙂
