But this time around she seemed fine. We talked about it a LOT, bribed her a LOT, and when the lights went down I prayed a LOT:) She was excited about it until I dropped her off and she said, "Mom, I just don't want everyone to laugh at me." Last time when she started crying ppl in the audience started laughing so I think she was referring to this. It's hard not to laugh when a bunch of 3 year olds are running around the stage in chaos looking as cute as ever.
But when it came down to it she did her 2 dances without a single tear, and she seemed like she was actually having a really good time. I was just so relieved. It didn't help that Matt told me if she cried through the whole thing again I should probably wait a year or two before I put her back in dance! I said honey, she is THREE!:) It's about the experience, right?
Anyways, I have way too many pictures here that I should have put in a collage but didn't. I don't care though, this was too much of a proud mommy moment.
We had a little photo shoot before we went to the recital. This was the first time she would really pose for the camera and she wanted to see every picture after I took it. I think it was because she was SO excited that she was able to wear a little bit of makeup! She kept saying, "oh gorgeous, gorgeous" as I put it on.
This is her favorite pose.
She really wanted a picture of her feet-she loved her leg warmers.
This was her Tarzan and Jane dance which was really cute. She is the first one, and the shortest:)
This was the butterfly dance.
Afterwards Aunt Gina and Corinne gave her flowers, she felt so special and kept showing everyone.
We told Kash and Ella to strike a pose together and this is what we got:
The BRIBE. We told Ella she could get the biggest ice cream cone she wanted if she did her dances without crying so here she is rewarding herself!
