My little ballerina

So Audrey was in a dance class for 4 weeks and it was really a music and movement class where they did not have to wear a ballet outfit, just comfy clothes. They did more than ballet, they danced to music, played with instruments, balls, hoops, etc. BUT Olivia's class was right before hers and she saw how Olivia dressed like a ballerina. On her last day of class she insisted she wear one of Olivia's ballet outfits even though it is at least 2 sizes big on her. She was so excited to wear it and be a ballerina.
This is her Passe

Warming Up

Her teacher told her to stretch and smell her toes

I'm Sad

Olivia came to me tonight in tears because her pump pack holding her insulin pump was all twisted and falling off and she was extremely frustrated with it. Here was our conversation:

Her: I don't want to have diabetes anymore.
Me: You don't.
Her: No, I don't want to have diabetes anymore, I want to be a different girl.
Me: Oh honey, I'm sorry. Please don't be sad. God made you very special with diabetes and mommy loves you so much just how you are.

It didn't take long for her to get distracted by something else and she didn't bring it up again but this is the first time since she got diabetes 3 1/2 years ago that I have ever heard that she didn't want to have diabetes and that she wanted to be another girl. Breaks my heart. God, please wrap your arms around my sweetie tonight and help her feel special. Help me to help her get through this life being a little different living with diabetes.

I don't want to be 4 anymore!

I've been telling Livi now that she's four that she is bigger and needs to act like a 4 year old. Be a big 4 year old and stop whining. Don't throw a tantrum, you're 4 now. She was so excited to be older and help mommy but it finally got to be too much I guess. This was our conversation:
Olivia started to cry and ran off.
Me: "Olivia what's wrong?"
Olivia: "I don't want to be 4 anymore."
Me: "Why? Is it just too hard?"
Olivia: "Yes!"
Me: "O.k. You can act like you're 3 if you want."
Olivia: "O.k."

Oops, I guess I need to ease her into being 4 and not expect too much, I didn't realize she would think it was too hard to be 4.

Here are some pictures of her hair after we had french braided it and then took the braids out.

We've also tried this fancy do that I found on this website.

Audrey started winking a month or two ago and it's so cute. And she can do both eyes. I don't think Livi did it that young but maybe I just can't remember.

I want to remember their little hands. They had put nail stickers on their fingers.

I love this picture. Audrey had just woke up from a nap and she has a sleepy face. I love that face when little kids just wake up, so sweet. She is also very snuggly when she first wakes, I cherish those moments with her and don't want them to end.

Super Bowl

We went to my friend Vicki's house for a Super Bowl party and had a great time. I'm still hungover from all the yummy food that I ate.

They had a projector that displayed the t.v. on their wall so it was HUGE! Steve was in heaven to say the least.

Her little boy Jake is such a cutie!

Audrey had a ball dressing up with Paityn

They snuggled in bed

Ate some food

This picture was from the Friday before, we went to the park because it was beautiful out and Paity loaned my girls some hats. Olivia said Paityn is her best friend. Ohhhhh.
