A REAL Ballerina

After much waiting, Miss Mara has finally started ballet (& tap) lessons. Picking out her dance gear, pulling her hair into a little bun for the first time, and watching her twirl through class with a huge smile on her face was one of those moments for me... one of those that made me (again) so grateful for her birthmom, whose sacrifice made me a mother & gave me the joy of all these sweet moments. And isn't Ella just the cutest thing in the universe pressing her little nose up to the glass to watch her big sis?
