My daughter had her dance recital this weekend and she could not have been any cuter! Watching her brought back dancing memories from my own childhood and seeing her on stage and loving it made me smile. She was a star and I couldn't be a prouder mama. I was thinking about not sending her back next year but after this I'm not sure that is an option. She's getting to be such a big girl and although that I'm full of joy it also makes me feel a little (sniff, sniff) sad.
It all goes by quickly. Here are the five things that happened that make me feel like Gillian is becoming so mature and turning into a mini me. I hear myself so much in what she says.
1. Before the show she said that she thought she should relax for a little while so she wouldn't be tired at the dance recital.
2. On the way to Gillian's recital I left her tights at home so we had to turn around. She noticed I was upset and said it's okay momma no matter what you do I will always love you.
3. I bought her flowers and she said thank you that was so nice of you and daddy they are beautiful and smell so pretty.
4. I could see her on the stage getting the other girls to where they were supposed to be gently and taking the lead by modeling the dance for those her who were unsure. That made me really proud.
5. This has nothing to do with the show but last week I brought her to kindergarten orientation and I literally almost started crying on the way home.
I can't wait to spend the extra time with my girls. This summer vacation will certainly be something to treasure. Twelve days and counting!!!

Oh, I am bawling, just bawling, reading this! I can't believe she said "I'll always love you" because you forgot her tights! What a little woman! And what a wonderful big girl she is growing into! Oh, I hope I have a little girl as good as her!
It sounds like you are doing a beautiful job of raising your girls. I love hearing about how parents feel about their kids. I get choked up almost everyday with my son so I totally relate to your emotions here!
She looks just beautiful in her little outfit. I've decided to enroll our little one in dance too. She wants to take hip hop. Thanks for your sweet comment regarding our little one. I appreciate it.
isn't it wonderful to see them succeed? thanks for stopping by...

She is beautiful, and I am sure as proud to be your little girl as you are to be her Mom~
I wanted to pass on to you that the nutritional program I told you about has an amazing special offer going on, so if you want to try it now would be the time to really save $. Here is a video to watch that certainly helped me make my decision~
