It's time

A long time waiting for a day like this.

I’ve always day dreamed about having a daughter in dance and tonight was just that dream come true. This past year she has been taking dance, a ballet/tap combo class and she has had a great time in it. She’s the youngest one in her class but she fits in just well.

Tonight was the big night...

the recital!

Butterflies filled my stomach driving over to the school. Her costume was on, hair curled and pulled half way up, and her cheeks and lips were as rosy as I could make them!

She looked like a doll.

Like a little bride.

Literally.

As we waited patiently in our chairs for the first 10 performances to go, the little brides soon made it across the stage. Before the music even started, all you could hear were member of the audience ooh-ing and ahh-ing on how adorable they looked.

And when the music started, it was even more heart wrenching-ly darling. I wanted them to perform over and over again. I didn’t get enough of my little girl.

It was so cute because during a few parts of the routine, the girls were supposed to plié in and out of first and second position. Well, for Cecily and many of the other girls, it was just a hopping step. She just kept hopping in place, it was hilarious and too cute for me to even explain any further.

The neatest thing of all was when I asked her if she was nervous being up on stage her response was, "Nooo!"

(Like I had asked her the stupidest question in the world)

Well ok then!

Glad to know my little girl isn't afraid of much!

Anyway,

That was seriously the highlight of my year I think.
