"Can I wear my princess dress?" Ella begged, holding out a fluffy yellow dress that was similar to the one Belle was wearing in the Disney classic, Beauty and the Beast.

I helped her slip on the dress and put on a tiara to finish off the outfit. The scene in the movie where Belle and the Beast dance appeared on the screen and I held out my hand for Ella to take. She giggled before placing her hand in mine and we tried to imitate the dance from the movie.

At the end of the dance, Evelyn clapped her hands and we both turned around and saw her wiping her cheeks.

"Sorry, I know I'm an emotional wreck. But that was the sweetest thing I've ever seen," she said as she cradled Ashton in her arms.

"I kept stepping on his toes!" Ella cupped her cheeks and smiles cheekily as if she was embarrassed.

I laughed and scooped her up in my arms. "It's okay, babe. We're both learning."

"I'm going to put Ash down for a nap and probably take one with him too," Evelyn told me. "How about you and Ella spend the day together? She'll love it."

I nodded, grinning. "Aright. I'm going to take her to the park so she can ride her new bike."

"I don't know how to ride a bike," Ella frowned. "I'm scared I'll fall."

"Well today, I'm going to teach you and I promise you won't fall. But if that happens, I'll catch you, okay?"

Ella nodded her head, nervously. "Okay."

"You two have fun, alright?" Evelyn smiled and kissed the both of us before she headed upstairs with Ash.

I helped Ella out of her princess dress and helped her into a warm change of clothes that were appropriate for the park. Evelyn and I always have to keep an eye on her while she puts on her shirt or jumper because she puts it on inside out or backwards all the time for some reason.

After zipping her coat and tying the laces to her doc martens, she ordered me to wear mine too.

"You wanna match boots with me?" I asked, stepping into my pair.

"Yep!"

I chuckled and grabbed the car keys, opening the door for her to walk out first. I unlocked the car and placed her bike at the back of the suv before buckling her in the booster seat behind the drivers side.

The drive to Hyde Park wasn't too far away and we managed to find a decent spot for Ella to ride around on her bike. I crouched down to her height and strapped on a helmet.

"Okay, love. Are you ready?" I asked her with an encouraging smile.

Ella shook her head slightly. "No."

"You'll be fine, baby. Come," I assured her and helped her onto the seat. "Put your feet on the pedals and keep your grip on the handles. Got it?"
