Ballerina Ellie




We got Ellie some ballet clothes recently, after she saw another little girl in the store with her ballet clothes on and kept talking about how beautiful the other little girl was and how she wished she had ballerina clothes....that's what Ellie says now when she wants something...."I wish I had that when I get big."

So anyway, since she's such a girlie girl and loves to dress up, we knew she'd enjoy the ballet clothes, and she sure does. She put the clothes on one morning, and wore them all day long. We played school, she made some little books, and then she read her stories to Max. He already lights up when he hears her voice, trying to turn towards her and smiling. Later we had to turn on "ballerina music" and get the video camera out so she could perform for us.

Darling! Mallory is really starting to enjoy dressing-up too.
And a little girl from church calls her Mallorina. So we've adopted that too and often call her Mallorina Ballerina.
