What a special day it was this past Sunday. G's first dance recital of I hope many many more!! I feel that dance class really helped her to be less shy and more free to express herself in front of others. She took to it just about immediately. She went right into the class on the first day without me and just went for it. She never wanted to miss a class...so we didn't. She got an award for having perfect attendance. I think she was very proud of herself and her accomplishment. Other than her and maybe one more little girl who was in the slightly older class all the other award recipients were the older girls. So I think she felt special.
On stage she did a surprisingly amazing job. I think she really did all the steps and with lots of energy! THey did a dance to "You Must have been a Beautiful Baby." I did think she would do O.K. but it was her first time on a big stage and I thought she might get a bit overwhelmed and maybe just stand there a bit then do a step or two. But, the stage did not seem to bother her at all. She just did it!! Funny because she would never show me her dance at home if I asked her nor did she practice at home. I really think she performs better when I'm not right there with her. That is fine by me...as long as the results are as wonderful as this!!! We are so proud of her!!!
It was especially wonderful for her to have her two very special friends Lily and Lucy in class with her and for them to share the class time and this day together. The day was even more special because she had so much of her family in the audience there to see her. We had a lovely day celebrating after ,all friends and family had a very nice lunch at The Veranda and we brought in an ice cream cake with all three girls names on it and big tall candles that they all blew out together. Really a wonderful and memorable day!!!
