Recital Time

(Ellie is in the lighter colored jeans, second one from the left)

Ellie's 3 and 4 year old class had a recital at the House of Blues at the Mandalay Bay Hotel on the Strip. I have been there for a few concerts in my single days and was surprised they got such a fancy place to perform in! So it was pretty big stuff! It was fun to go and make a big deal about it all.

This was her first session of ballet and she loved it! When they'd practice this dance she would always get scared and come sit with me before the song was over. She never made it through a song until the last practice. I commented to a mom sitting next to me that, "She finally made it through!" And just then Ellie came to sit with me. So I was really curious to see how she'd do at the real deal. I was picturing her A)Not going on the stage at all B)going on the stage but not doing anything, or C)going on stage, looking scared, and maybe do a few of the moves.

You can imagine my surprise when she just busted out all the moves and the whole dance and was right on cue with everything! That's my girl.

I did graduate with my associates degree in performing fine arts... just saying.

It's clear where she gets it from.

Serious proud mom moment.
