Ella had a day off today because it was a teacher work day. We ran some errands, got Ella new ballet slippers and a new leotard tutu combo. After that we ran some more errands and then Brickelle came over at 3:00 for her piano lesson. I asked Ella if she would cooperate during Brickelle’s lesson and just hang out downstairs with us and do her own thing or go upstairs and watch TV. She chose to hang out downstairs with us and she did a great job. Brickelle also did a great job focusing on her lesson. After the lesson, the girls played for a little while and then I took Ella to ballet. Ella was terrific in class. The kid who growls was there again – I think Ella kind of gets a kick out of her. Tonight after dinner, Ella took some batting practice with Sunny in the hallway. We’re getting her ready for T-ball which starts next month.

Ballerina girl…you are so lovely.
Using the force to hit the ball. I don’t think Ella realizes that she closes her eyes when the ball comes. These photos are a great learning tool! Who knew?
Getting into the zone.
Game face.
Ella looks dreamy at ballet, yet focused and listening to instructions. She is terrific! It was great talking to her yesterday; she’s getting to be such a big girl. Love you. Mom
