The girls had their ballet recital this past weekend. We had a party similar to last year where the girls got ready together and the parents and grandparents had a nice lunch. I am so glad we do it this way because Grace woke up saying she wasn't going to get dressed or dance. But once her friend was here, she changed her mind.
When we got to the theater, we dropped the girls off with the teachers and found a seat. Just before the show started, one of the teachers came to the front asking for "Claire's mom". She said she was crying and wanted to know if we wanted to take her or go to her. We said no, let's see what happens. Steve did get up a few minutes later and they said she was backstage with a teacher.
When the curtain opened, we fully expected to see her standing there crying or with her hands in her mouth. Instead, she had a smile on her face and was ready to perform. She LOVED it!
Claire is 4th from the left and Grace is 5th from the left.
