Swim lessons

Ella is doing swim lessons this week with her friends, Lauren and Emily. So far she's done really well and she really enjoys them.

Day trip to Chattanooga

Tessa loved the zoo. Ella loved the aquarium, especially the sharks.

Ella's first tatoo

Tessa at the Little Gym

Tessa had a great time during Ella's show. She played on everything she could. I can't wait to do a class with her in the fall.

Little Gym

Ella also had her Little Gym show yesterday. They did a tap dance, a ballet dance and a solo. Ella did really well with both dances and her solo was excellent. She went first and hers, as usual, was the longest. I have videos and I hope to get them up sometime. They also showed us all the gymnastics stuff they could do. It was great. When they got their medals, Ella's teacher, Miss Holly, said she was the most serious dancer in the class. :) And it's true. Ella takes her dancing very seriously.

Last day of school

Ella had her end of year program and picnic at school today. She has grown up so much this year and has really enjoyed school. During the program last year, she just stood there and didn't move or sing. This year she was very animated on stage. As shy as she still is, she loves to perform in front of people.
