Sisters
Lulu Bean has all of a sudden realised that her big sister is someone to be adored. She wants to be wherever she is, doing whatever she's doing. What a gorgeous bond these girls have already. Makes my heart melt.

Dancing Bean
The Bean started Hip Hop classes a few months ago just after she turned three, and yes - it is as adorable as it sounds. Her dance school has a wonderful philosophy, a wonderful community, and as we discovered, their twice-yearly performances are pretty spectacular!
I was surprised at the emotion I felt when we signed her over into the care of the coaches and volunteers. It was my first time leaving her in the care of complete strangers. By the time it was her turn to perform, I was so anxious I actually shed a tear. Anxiety wasn't the only reason I cried - my heart was swelling with pride at how grown up my little girl had become all of a sudden. She was so confident, so fearless. She grew up more than just a little that night.
Another performance that night inspired me to sign up for a Hip Hop fitness class. Will I be brave enough to perform at the next show?

Project 52 - May
My Four Hens Project 52
Week 19 - Shapes have many faces, and I love that bubbles can have such sharp definition
Week 20 - Warm afternoon light, setting off the dandelion
Week 21 - The dark clouds rolled past, and the sun shone intermittently on the whirligig. I saw this through a window and almost tripped over myself running to capture it. Made an appearance in week 21's eye candy
Week 22 - The view doesn't get much prettier than that. Almost makes me want a window seat...

Light
Anyone who has spent more than a few minutes with this girl has asked essentially the same couple of questions: "Does she ever stop smiling?" and "Why is she so happy?" (we try not to take that second one as as a comment on our parenting ability...)
We used to think The Bean was an exceptionally happy child (as she still is), but she had nothing on this little ray of sunshine. The pure joy that radiates from Lulu Bean is a testament to the meaning of her name.
From the moment she wakes until the moment she falls asleep, Lulu lights our days.
