Lily's First Ballet Recital

On Thursday night, April 21st....Lily had her first dance recital. Pitiful really, that I am just now blogging about it, but better late than never, right? Anyway...it was simply precious. I may have even shed a little tear.




To say that Lily co-operated with the whole getting on stage thing would be an understatement. The child was made for the stage. You see, during practice....Lily definately liked ballet ok, but she was never the most enthusiastic child in there. It's almost like she acted shy or embarassed the whole time. She didn't sit on the floor and do nothing, but she definately didn't do each and every move the teachers told her to. And then came recital week. They had a spacing rehearsal, dress rehearsal, and a recital. I have never seen the child do ballet so perfectly. She did each and every move precisely....and she LOVED it.







And if I may say so myself....she looked absolutely adorable. Their costumes were so cute! Btw...getting her hair into a ballerina bun was an awesome experience.

When the recital was over, she was sooo excited to get to take her purple tutu home. We asked Lily if she wanted to do dance class again next year. Her reply was, "I just want to do the recital." And there you have it! Love her!!!!
