We had a little bonus dance class last week!  Anna Kate was done (we had our recital; that was that in her mind, lol), so Rose took her spot for their last little class of the summer.  To say she was a crack-up is an understatement.  She’s not quite there yet, but since it was a free-be class, I thought we’d let her have a little fun with it… and she did! 

 

She had her eyes on a little brother watching the class.  He kept egging her on that he was going to steal her spot (her green tape), and she gave him looks like, “Don’t you dare try, buddy!”  They were both cracking their moms up!  We couldn’t stop laughing at them and just let it play out.  Fortunately, it was all looks… but did last the entire class.  At least it gave her something to do… because she is 90 to nothing, that kid!

Noelle got to be in charge of ballet, red light, green light!

 

Back to participating, for a moment!

 

Now back to protecting her tape!

 

It’s like she looking at him saying, “Just try to touch my tape… see what will happen!”  They were both taunting each other so much… I’m laughing out loud right now remembering the whole exchange.  Oh Rose… you are so tough.  I wish I was as tough as you are!  I would get my feeling hurt a lot less!  You girls truly teach me how to embrace life and enjoy these crazy days with you munchkins!  Thank God you are here with me! 

 

So stinky and so cute all packed into once precious bundle!  These pictures are worth a thousand words!  I appreciate your spunk and zest for life!  You’re not messing around.  People pleaser?  Please!  You’re going to do what you feel is best and not think another thought about what other people think about you.  If all us women could be as healthy as our spunky 2 year old.  I joke about you a lot, because you are such a trip, but at the end of the day, if we continue channeling all this spunk and energy into positive outlets, you are going to be on top of the world someday.  We need all different types of people in this world, and I can’t wait until you can help me figure out how you do it, because when I grow up, I want to be just like you are right now!  Thanks for being all God made you to be, full out, with the spunk, with the kisses and cuddles, all of it!  You are Rose Avery Pond, and anyone that has a problem with it needs to back up!  You go girl!
