Adilyn's Dance Recital

Dance has been amazing for Adilyn! I don't know if she was just ready to come out of her shell, or if something about dance or going to Kindergarten helped make her become more confident. Either way, she is way more brave then she ever was before! I was a little nervous about how she would do at her recital. Up on a stage, in front of all those people, with me nowhere in sight. In the days leading up to it, I tried really hard not to ask her if she was scared or nervous because I didn't want to put that idea in her head. A few times she did say that she was going to "feel weird on that big stage". I just told her that she was going to do fantastic, and I crossed my fingers that that would be the case!
Today was the big day! Unfortunately, Brooke was a mess, so Cory had take her out in the first few minutes. He still got see Adilyn dance, but it was a little sad not to have the whole family there together. The recital was super cute! It was all about Disney, and there were a lot of cute routines. Adilyn's group was about the 5th one to go, and I was so nervous when that curtain opened! There she was, up there with all the girls. The music started, and she did great! The dance teacher was up at the top of the theater doing all the moves, so they could follow along with her. She had her "nervous face" on, but she did it, and she looked great!
She loved her outfit. She was excited to get a trophy. She was proud of herself. That's all a mama can ask for!
