So you know that Elise is a dancer. It is in her blood. One of my biggest worries moving away from Miss Amber was finding another ballet studio like hers. I think I found it.
However, that is completely beside the point I'm writing about...
I decided to teach piano lessons again to pay for Elise's dance classes. Elise will babysit the boys while I teach, thus "earning" her dance lessons. The kids know that we aren't making an incredible amount of money while in school, so Elise decided to sell her My Little Pony castle and ponies to buy new dance shoes. My boys have the biggest hearts, and Mason decided he would make robots and sell them in the front yard to help pay for Elise's lessons. Sammy wants to sell his blankies to chip in as well. They are willing to sell their favorite toys so that Elise can dance.
I love that my kids are willing to sacrifice for each other.

So sweet to see the love they have for their sister! I have enjoyed reading your updates. Happy anniversary! 10 years with a wonderful eternity to come. Enjoy the thunderstorms. We miss those and still talk about them. I have never see it rain like it can in the Midwest. I remember having to stop our car on the road because we could not see beyond our windshield. :0
That is great. You are such a great mom to those kids.
That's awesome. I totally wish you guys lived around the corner so I could buy some "robots" from Mason. He's going to grow up and be an electrical engineer.
you will be the next mom that goes on tour for Time Out to teach us all how you do it! I love your stories - this is amazing and of course just what I would think your children would do...how tender! I wish we could find a place that Madeleine would love as much as Ruby Shoes - alas, it is not anywhere I have been able to find in the city...then again I only look to places that I can travel relatively easily with 3 children and a subway :) So glad it worked out for Elise - she has talent, love and the feel of the beat...what a great combo!
p.s. we would buy robots too - that Mason...he is really something special!!
What wonderfully sweet children.
