Dance Recital

Connor and I attended Maddie's dance recital last night in Sumter. What a night!! This was a first for me since I never took dance as a child. For those of you who have seen me dance, you know this to be true. For those who have not witnessed it, think of "The Elaine" from Seinfeld. Anyway, the place was filled with excited parents and family members waiting to see their precious little one up on that stage. One of the first performances was the wee little girl group. Let me set the scene for you.....The song playing was that new one by Steven Curtis Chapman. The one about a father dancing with his Cinderella. It is a very sweet song for a father and daughter. Anyway, here they come out to this wonderful song with their dads!! It was so cute. They were dancing on their father's feet and being twirled around. Of course, guess who was crying. I'm sitting there thinking of my baby girl that will soon be here. It was just so sweet!! My niece Maddie did just awesome! Her group did great. I was so proud of her. The whole night just made me that much more excited about having a baby girl!! Maybe one day she will take dance lessons so she won't be like her mother!!!

I saw you over there and wondered if you were gonna cry. I embarassed Timmy by crying like crazy. Jill is pretty sure I need medication too. Wasn't that the sweetest thing. I cried again yesterday telling my family about it. See, it's not just pregnant hormones. It's being a mom!!

I too cried just reading your post. Those dance recitals are the best..you pay so much money for lessons all year long, bright obnoxious feathery costumes and special tights, ribbons and shoes all to watch them on stage for about 5 minutes...and if you are lucky they may even dance while on stage!! It is so much fun. You'll love having a little girl!!
