I went and saw my goddaughters' dance recital today - it was FABULOUS! Madison, the youngest one (10 yrs old) is starting to become more graceful, and looks so grown up when she dances... And Shyann, the 14 yr old, just started dancing en pointe this year (if you don't know much about ballet, toe shoes are REALLY hard on young feet, so they don't normally start en pointe until 15 yrs old) - she is amazing. If she were just a little taller, she could have a serious career in ballet... She dances all styles, though, so if she wanted to dance professionally in another style, she certainly could... I'm so proud of both of them - I'm just about to burst!
And, their mother, my very bestest friend in the whole world, has been having BIG panic attacks lately. To the point where she has been afraid to leave the house for the past 2 weeks... So I drove her to the recital, so she knew she had an "escape plan", and held her hand when she needed it. And she made it through! No panic all afternoon, AND she ran the recital (she's the best stage mom ever). So I'm proud of her too....
I just can't stop smiling....
