Sailor,
Thankyou for showing us the first five ballet positions. Annabelle and I had a great time doing them together, this morning.

Dear Sailor,
I love you. And I love you very much. I love you and I love your birthday and your ballet class. I love you. I want you to comment on mine. I want you to come to my house and see my blankets. I love you and I appreciate you. I love your dinner. And I love you. I love you on the bottom (she means the bottom of the comment section. =D ) I eat french fries in my home. I get them at McDonalds. And I love you, appreciate you, and I love your toys. And have a lovely day.
Love,
Annabelle

Wow!
What a fun activity! Thanks for teaching us the moves again.
We'll have to use them at the next family party :).
You look like a perfect ballerina. Love, Aunt Heidi

You do a lot better than I did when I was a ballerina! I never could quite get third right...

I saw your list of books from one of your earlier entries. Raohl Dahl is one of my favorite authors as well! Have you read the BFG or James and the Giant Peach? You'll love them.

Sailor,
This is Auntie Katie! We had such a fun time with you guys this week! Thanks for sharing all of your toys and goodies. My kids loved their cookies and skittles on the way home. We will miss you-we love you!

Oh my gracious, Sailor, you are wonderful! Shelby and I really liked this post. She started tap and ballet yesterday for the first time. She is so excited and was excited to see you and all your dance moves. (positions) Thanks for being such a great example. We look forward to more of your great posts!

Sailor,
Your ballet lesson was great. Annaliese and Bella are beginning a ballet class too. You girls should do an impromptu ballet performance next time we see you. I loved seeing your sweet smiling face and your very focused, sincere- I'm a performing ballerina face! It was very cute Sailor and reminded me of your mother.
