| first dance recital, May 2008 In between pictures, studio rehearsals, venue rehearsals, and the actual recital, it makes for a long, busy, FUN week, leading up to the big production. |
I just love dance recitals, or at least ones my daughter dances in, because I love watching that girl get up on stage and, well, dance! She loves it, and yes, I choke back tears while she's on that gigantic stage dancing her little heart out.
Her first recital at age 3 was just one dance, and now we have progressed to 3. Next year, we enter the world of competition and will perform in 6 numbers.
I planted my money tree yesterday and sure hope it grows ;)

| best bun we can come up with |
Last year was her first year with multiple dances and since I wasn't backstage with her, I was so worried that she would forget to put on part of her costume, or wear the wrong shoes or tights, or knock her hair out of her, ahem, bun, or add more lipstick and get it all. over. the. place.
But she didn't. She did it perfectly. And at last night's dress rehearsal, she was all about being down to business and getting things done when they needed to be done. She really didn't even need my help.
sniff, sniff
Except when it came to snack time :)
On the drive home, I told her how proud of her I was.
And that made her smile.
She's very good at that, too.
