My husband and I took Sophia to her first ballet class today.  Wearing her first pink leotard, Sophia crept into the theatre with us and watched as the older girls danced before the start of her class.  I think I was as nervous as she seemed to be!  And as Sophia let go of my hand and took her first ballet steps, I felt my heart go with her.  Sophia and my heart, pitter-pattering around the room while I looked on.  I hope she loved it.  My little Sophia ballerina.  M x

I had the pleasure to visit a beautiful friend of mine, her very doll-like daughter, Cianah, and adorable baby son, Dante.  Sophia and I had a great time playing around in their garden, taking photos and enjoying the afternoon sun!  Dante was happy to sit for as long as we wanted him to, studying the grass and watching us.  Cianah, on the other hand, needed a little chocolate incentive to join the fun in front of the camera!  She is one of the sweetest 4 year olds you could hope to meet, with a motherly nature, and happy to share all her toys with Sophia (who basked in her attention).  Dante is 8 months old, and although not well during our visit, would never let you know it – smiling and very content.  I hope we can visit again soon, and I’m so pleased to be able to share some photos with you all.  M x
