For TWO YEARS, Lilly has been asking us to start dance… and today was finally her day in the spotlight, with little sissy Charlotte right there in tow. And just like that, another beautiful chapter in their sisterhood began. 🥹. I snapped these photos through the small window in the door since parents aren’t allowed in to class but I’m still “Papa creeper,” I couldn’t resist.
As I started doing Lilly’s hair in a braid fore class, she looked up at me very seriously and said, “No, Papa. I’m a ballerina. I need my hair up in a bun, please.”
Ohhhh, Papa is in TROUBLE. 😆🩰 Apparently we have a professional on our hands already!
My sweet girls, dance like nobody’s watching. Be loud in who you are. Express yourselves like the beautiful little artists you already are. Take up space, twirl until you’re dizzy, fall down, get back up, and never stop doing the things that make your hearts feel alive.
Today may have been their first dance lesson, but something tells me it’s the beginning of a journey we’ll remember for a lifetime.
Papa and Daddy will be right here for every plié, every recital, every costume, every backstage scramble, every proud tear… and every single twirl along the way. ❤️
Here’s to a lifetime of tiny dancing shoes, big dreams, sisterhood, and more beautiful memories than we can count.
Our tiny dancers. Our greatest masterpieces. Our whole hearts. 🩰👨👨👧👧💕
