from one stage to the next.
As the sometimes {well more like "mostly"} reluctant mom of two daughters who are in dance, I will have to concede to the fact that they both love it. They love practice, they love rehearsals, they love the costumes, they love performing... all of it. Me? Not so much. But last night sitting at the recital and seeing all the hard work all the dancers go through for the performance... I had a teenie, tiny change of heart and am so proud of my girls for sticking it out with an un-supportive mother.
Abby chose to be in Jazz this year and her dance recital song was "My Boyfriend's Back", which may be a little foreshadowing? I hope not!
She loved her dance costume even though I hated all of the dots falling off and the fact that I had to sew them back on....
It amazes me that my tom-boy, Kippy, can actually transform into a ballerina with a simple bun and a dress.
Angelique danced to Allegro.
The post-performance tradition is the giving of roses to the performers. The girls got some beautiful flowers from their grandmother's who were able to come watch.
Grandma Rose and Grandma Shirley enjoyed the show and we all thought the girls did a beautiful job!
So, looks like I will remain the reluctant mom of two dancers...
Love you both! Great job!!

They looked so beautiful. I am impressed with the improvements each of them have made over the year. It was fun to sit by you and see it through your eyes. Another milestone achieved.
they looked beautiful last night!
Oh they did look so beautiful...both of them! I love that they both look like they are enjoying themselves onstage and that they both love dance. I KNOW that it can all be a pain in the butt! It is truly amazing to see the progress the dancers make over the years and the self confidence and poise they gain from practicing and performing. So does this mean that MAYBE the girls will dance again next year? They seem to love it so! And if I recall, you had a similar change of heart after watching your beauties perform last year!
Does this mean they'll be back in dance this fall???
These pictures are so good! I wish you were here on Saturday to fix Darian's hair for hiphop!!
