Avery had her first dance recital last night. These photos were taken at the dress rehearsal at the dance studio. She did so good! I just can't explain how my heart swelled to see her up there dancing her little heart out. She smiled so big. She told me "Mama, I'm not even scared to go on stage!" She did three dances The Sugarplum Fairy (ballet), The Robot (tap) and Hip Hop Teddy Bear (tap). She nailed them all. Ron even said some people in the audience were singling her out and saying how cute she was....Ahhhhh that's my girl. I have to admit there was a small part of me that was a little envious of her. I have always wanted to take ballet and tap. It just look like so much fun. It was so cute to see how independent she was, as well. She just walked onto stage each time and found her spot and waited for the curtains to open. BRAVO SWEETHEART. I even bought her a single pink rose to give to her after she was done. And of course we went to DQ for some ice cream afterwards. So we had both a cultural experience and some fine dining too!
