Beautiful girls.. all over the world! :)

So I haven't posted in a couple days, been a little busy. :)

Dance has started back up for the summer, and I think I have gotten used to just being at home. The first day back was great, it was great to be dancing again and teaching awesome kids. It was also good to get out of the house! The second day back was a pretty long day. I loved it, but was SO exhausted I went to bed early last night! I just have to get back into my new routine, being a mom of twins, running a dance studio, and teaching as well. I think I can, I think I can...

So I was thinking this week about how blessed I am to have two GIRLS. At first I was like PLEASE LORD, I teach and interact with girls everyday. I wouldn't know what to do with a boy! But its more than that. Girls are so precious. They are gentle, delicate and have sweet spirits. No matter if you are a girly girl or tom boy, I think all girls have the same feelings, emotions and desires.

Every girl (and boy) should be showered with love, encouragement, and praise. Especially at home! If they don't hear it there, they will find it from somewhere else or fall for the first person who will value her. Yes, you might love and value your children, but you HAVE TO LET THEM KNOW, don't just think they know.  No matter if they are 3 months old,  the beautiful teenage years, or 90 years old, every women should feel like the treasure they truly are. And sometimes girls get to the point where they are so hardened by not hearing those things that they think they don't need to hear them anymore. I think that's another reason I love my job, because even though it might not be much, I want to encourage young girls to be the beautiful woman God created them to be.


In the beginning I was having a hard time because Emma was the bigger and louder one, and Adelyn was the smaller one and just mostly slept and was quiet. So some would say little comments like "I like Adelyn better" and it would BREAK my heart. I would be to the point of tears. I know they probably didn't mean it like that, but still those words and go into the girls spirits. And I don't want them to be comparing themselves to each other just because others do. That's what I think will be the biggest challenge with twins, because people will compare. Just because they were born the same day, does not mean they should be exactly the same. I guess some people just don't get that..

So, I am excited to see them grow into the individuals they are. Everyday they are changing and growing and learning to things. I love walking up to them and then they just smile so big. They love their mommy and daddy so much, and we love them BOTH sooooooo much! I'm so glad I have 2 beautiful girls who get showered with kisses and an ear full of how beautiful and smart they are, and that will never stop!
