london, england
the entire family is in london to support tay for her shows here. tonight is the first of three and we are all excited. ella has been to many of the shows, but tonight is actually rylees first. we decided to take her and not leave her at the hotel or rental house with the nanny. both of the girls are so excited, especially since tays parents are here and jason and kylie. ella is loving showing jason and kylie around and telling them how it works when we come to shows.
both girls are in glittery pink dresses that twirl which both are taking full advantage of and white glittery cowgirl boots that christian louboutin sent us.
kylie is doing ella's hair to help out tay so she doesn't have to braid it like ella wanted since i physically can't do it. i've tried, didn't end well. however, i can put rylee's hair in pigtails with bows.
"daddy, i'm gonna dance the whole night. not stopping once." ella declares to me from taylor's makeup chair. ella usually starts off strong but then get tired and sometimes falls asleep.
"oh really?" i ask and she nods confidently
"i dance too." rylee speaks up in-front of me
"are you so excited to see mama on stage. you've never done that before." i acknowledge the bright blonde in front of me. both of our girls are taylor clones. the bright blonde hair, piercing blue eyes and pale skin. ella acts just like taylor too, she does everything tay does. however, she still had her dad in her. she's such a goofball and loves to play anything, she loves soccer especially. rylee is in her daddy phase now where all she wants is to be around me. i don't mind at all, even taylor and our family thinks it's adorable how she wants to be around me now. i know it won't last forever so i'm trying to soak it up.
"i gonna see mama, but stay with daddy." rylee babbles
"yeah, you gotta stay with me." i say pulling the little girl into my lap and she immediately snuggles into me
taylor comes back in all ready and we wish her luck and i give her a kiss promising to meet her backstage when the show is over.
"rylee c'mon you have to go to the tent and collect bracelets. and we can trade ours!" ella jumps making rylee excited.
"good luck with that babe." taylor says to me kissing once more
"i'll need it with these little firecrackers" i say making her laugh. we finally leave the dressing room and ella runs ahead as i secure rylee safely in my arms.
"ella marjorie, you know you are not to run ahead." i instruct and she comes back. it's just obvious safety precautions to not have her skipping along by herself.
she stays by my side as we walking to the tent. we trade some bracelets but mainly the girls just collect them. by the time we actually make it to the tent, the girls each almost have a whole arm filled.
the clock comes on and soon enough taylor pops up from the stage and everyone starts screaming and cheering for her.
"daddy." rylee pouts and clings to me
"what's wrong bug?" i ask rubbing her back
"scary" she mutters out
"it's okay ry, you're so safe with daddy. look it's mommy, she can see us!" i say as taylor waves over to our section after her opening
rylee continues to keep her face right in my neck as she shyly watches taylor. ella bounces around the tent with everyone throughly enjoying herself with everyone. she's giggling and singing to the songs. at one point jason has her on his shoulders.
by the end of the night, i have rylee clinging to my neck asleep and i'm holding ella on my hip as we're going backstage to see taylor. ella was too tired to walk as it's so past her bedtime. jason and ross offered to hold her but she claimed she needed her dad.
the second taylor sees us waiting she starts laughing.
"such a girl dad, they got you wrapped so tight around their little fingers." she giggles and gives me a kiss.
"let me take ry." tay says and i pass her out sleeping two year old.
we head to the dressing room where tay takes her makeup off and puts on shorts and one of my chief hoodies.
we leave through the back and pile into the car. the girls are in their car seats in the second row as me and tay squish into the third row. it's not safe for the car seats to be in third row and the drive isn't far but taylor throws her legs over my lap. i run my fingers along her long, smooth legs.
we get back to the hotel and put our girls to bed in their rooms after we changed them into their pajamas.
tay and i finally collapse into bed and fall asleep with her wrapped in my arms
