Pretty Ballerina

Saturday, was Dagny’s dance recital.  We have been both dreading and looking forward to it at the same time.  She is still so young (the youngest in her class by a year)  and if you think about it, it’s a pretty big thing this little kid had to do.  We weren’t sure how she would react to being on stage in front of so many eyes. She has become very shy this past year. A year ago she was so far from being shy.  I am not sure if it’s a phase or her personality forming.

We were so happy that he had a dress rehearsal earlier in the week to get her familiar with the stage and what Saturday would behold.  She did really good, so we felt very good about the recital.

The recital was a success.  She didn’t run off the stage, start crying, or freeze up.  There were some minor moments in the beginning when she froze, but then she got into it. We are so proud of her for doing so well.

I actually think she enjoyed the final bow the best.  She had a smile on from ear to ear.  I think it might of been my favorite moment, seeing my little girl center stage with a huge smile on.

Afterward, she didn’t want to take her dress off, so we decided to take some photos of her.

It was such a special day.  I know we will have more of these in the future, but I think the first one sets the bar for the rest.  I don’t think it others will ever be like this one.

  1. She looks like a little princess in the white & pink tutu and tights! Love her ballerina slippers too 🙂 I can see that you are all very proud of her achievement – who wouldn’t be? Wish I could have come to the recital… will have to plan better for next year.

  2. So cute! We just went to my Niece’s recital. This is her second or third one – she is 5 now. So much fun to watch!

    Your mom looks great! Please say hi to her for me!
