Dancing Queen

Our niece, Sophia, is a very energetic, 4 1/2 year old! Though she is full of energy, she has a very tender heart. She has the ability to sense when someone is upset, is eager to comfort her little brother, or little cousin, if they're upset. She is a sweetheart. She's always been, and always will be, very special to me. I was there the second she entered this world. It was such a special thing for me to be a part of that! My sister and brother-in-law thought it might be beneficial for Sophia to have an outlet, something special for her to do, and so ballet was chosen. She has been going to practice and showing us her moves for months, working up to the big recital that happened on Saturday. Originally, David and I were not going to be able to make it, but due to my Grandpa not doing well we decided to head down to Akron again and were able to attend the recital! I'm so glad we were able to be there. Sophia was adorable! The whole program was a hoot and it was so much fun seeing her proudly dance her ballet she has been working so hard on. I thought I'd share some photos with you! Enjoy!

Riley is quite the "paci snatcher." After he successfully took Cora's paci he waved it triumphantly in the air! It was so hilarious!

Cora might do ballet too, just don't ask her to wear a tiara. This clearly upsets her! :)
