As Lexi grew, so did her attachment to the Evans family. Every single one of them. The basement of the house was turned into a dance studio as Carly began to get serious about dance, leaving Lisa an opportunity to teach more classes. Lexi often sat in the basement while Lisa and Carly danced and practiced, just watching their every move. Taking in every step, turn, glide, and pointe. She became increasingly interested in what the two of three female role models in her life did for a living. Dance. As Carly executed the perfect pirouette, Lexi jumped up from her spot against the brick wall, literally skipping and twirling and clapping with joy!
"Yay Auntie Caryeee!" Lexi's toddler voice squealed out.
"Come here babygirl!" Carly smiled brightly at how excited Lexi was, taking her up into her arms and twirling around, dancing with Lexi.
"I think someone's gonna be a dancer Auntie Carly!" Lisa smiled to Lexi who was now trying to copy Carly's every moves!
"Aunnie Caryee? Where Cwis?" Lexi asked as Carly and Lexi stretched at the barre.Carly looked to Lisa, who'd given a sympathetic look to her own daughter, then nodded.
"Chris is working, honey. Do you remember what he does?" Lisa asked her sweetly.
"Mmm... he goes to the moon!!" Lexi giggled and threw up her hands high in the air.
"What!? He goes to the MOON!? Who told you that silly girl!?" Carly tickled Lexi's sides, earning a few adorable giggles!
"Cwis told me he flies to the moon! And he brings me back big space rocks!" Lexi explained with so much pride and joy in Chris.
"Uh-huh.." Lisa chuckled at Carly, now seeing that Chris had made up a cooler story than his acting career for Lexi to believe in.
"So when's he gonna be back from the moon?" Lexi asked Lisa.
"Well, babygirl, we can call him and ask him?" Lisa responded kindly.
"Do you miss your Chris, Lexi Boo?" Carly asked as she hugged Lexi.
"Yeah. Sometimes... he's funny." Lexi admitted before continuing to prance around the studio in her tutu like a little ballerina!
Just as a silence fell over the room in agreement that in fact, everyone missed Chris when he was gone away acting, the door opened up to footsteps gliding in.
"Uncle Scott!!!!!!!" Lexi screeched as she jumped from Lisa's arms, bolting across the studio to the other Evans brother, Scott.
"There's my little nugget!" Scott smiled brightly at Lexi's never dying joy and scooped her up, throwing her high in the air and catching her again.
"Look at youuu! Are you a ballerina today?!" Scott asked as he poked at Lexi's sides!
"I'm gonna be like Aunnie Caryee!!" Lexi said proudly, gaining a laugh out of the three of them!
