yesterday (which was madeline's actual birthday) she and joseph had to come to a midwife appointment with me. they were so well behaved and i was stoked... so afterwards we went to
sherbert bakeshop and cafe for a treat
i love it when these two love each other. it's my favourite... i just wish it happened more often! this photo says it all though, it's times like this that make being a mum totally worth it.
it's someone's birthday somewhere? that someone is meeeeee!
after the cafe, we drove a little way up the road to turn around, and used the west australian ballet centre carpark. it was then i had the most wonderful idea. my friend taui works at the ballet centre and should be at work at that time... so i made a call, hoping he was available. to my absolute delight he was, and madeline got the best birthday present of all time, a private hour long tour of the west australian ballet!
we went into all the studios, where madeline was able to dance to her hearts content... not once did taui rush her, he was more than happy for her to dance her heart out and insisted his work could wait, as nothing was more important than madeline's birthday. what a love!
we even got to have a peek into the studio where all the costumes are made!! madeline was in ballet heaven. what a lucky, lucky girl!
posing with uncle taui before going home.
what an amazing gift. i absolutely cannot believe how lucky our girl is! it has just renewed her ballet obsession that much more and she is bursting with joy, telling everyone that it was the best birthday present (and best birthday!!) ever. oh it's great to be seven!

i have no doubt this feisty little redhead is going places!
