Sparkle

In all of the birthday celebration, Issa's big news got a little lost. She had her dance pictures this week! Brace yourself for some sparkle:

 This is her jazz costume. It's one of those pictures that hurts my heart just a little bit. I have no idea when she got that big. The ponytail. The missing teeth. The hip pop. I'm just not ready.

I can handle the ballet costume a bit better:

Look at those adorable friends. It's hard to believe they met at the studio three years ago.

We're getting very excited for the big recital and then a summer full of dance and tumbling at the studio. Issa is still head over heels in love, and I'm still loving every minute of watching my dancing girl.
