Sophie FINALLY got her year to shine. She has been waiting and waiting to be just like Gracie and do the things Gracie did. She had a great year in ballet, and said she loved performing more than practicing :) She did great and was the cutest little ballerina up there. She even made her dad cry out of cuteness (he does it all the time....I'm sure he doesn't appreciate me telling this, but I think it is sweet).

Here's the little ballerina backstage before her
curtain call.

Here's
mostly a picture of a guy's head and a little of
Sophie on stage.

We were all so proud of her!
May was also her preschool graduation. Sophie learned so many great skills this year. Miss Brooke is such a great teacher.....we love her!

And finally.....(drumroll).....Sophie learned to ride a 2-wheeler! Our neighbors gave her this little bike from the D.I. after seeing her struggle to ride her "big bike". While Jake and I were on a walk, she taught her how to ride it. Way to go Sophie!

But sadly, a week later she fell off her bike and broke her elbow. She was
surprisingly tough and was trying so hard not to let the doctor she was in pain. She was more terrified of the doctors than the pain. But after 4 or 5 hours at the hospital, we
survived (with Jake out of town, of course).
Sophie's only two comforts were Gracie and her new bear, Joey. As long as they didn't leave her side, she was OK.

Poor girl was in lots of pain that first night.

But look at her now! She is sporting a groovy rainbow
tie-dye cast complete with sparkles. Life seemed much better for Sophie after the cast guy applied the sparkles.

Wha? Broken elbow? Wha? Oh my snookers! I am so sorry Sophie! But I must say, you're rocking that cast like a Garlock. You know Mitch had two once. And HE was starting high school.
And there never was a cuter ballerina.
Sophie - we are SO proud of you! What a lot you have learned lately. We think your cast is SO you! What more could a 5 year old want than a tie-die rainbow cast with sparkles! Love you!!!!
I am loving that groovy cast! I had a glow-in-the-dark cast once. She is too cute
