Today was another great day for our little family. Madeline had her very first dance recital. She was fantastic. She just went right out on stage and did her thing, as best she could while being distracted by the other dancers and just trying to best figure out what she was supposed to be doing. I was so proud of her, I could hardly contain myself. The tears were just flowing. My baby. Up on stage in front of so many people dancing away. After the dance was over she tried desperately to find us out in the crowd. Picture her face all scrunched up, her hands over her eyes to block the light from the spot lights, walking forward trying to see better. I so wish I could have ran up to the stage and wrap her in my arms and kiss her and congratulate her. She certainly doesn't have stage fright. She told me a few weeks ago that she was thinking about a song that she could sing while she was on stage. I mean, seriously, how cute is that? Her class danced to Baby Love. They were all a bit confused and distracted. But they did it. Especially my girl. My baby. Oh how did she get to be four years old already?
In addition to Joe, KJ and myself, Mom, John, Binky, Wendy, Dan, Bobbie, Joe, Lisa and Julia were all there for the little lady. Mom ordered a beautiful bouquet of flowers from Sendiks for Mad that was from her, John, me and Joe. Wendy, Bobbie and Lisa all brought her flowers too. She was so excited to get four bouquets of flowers. We had to plan out where they were all going to go. We decided on one in her room, one in the family room, one of the kitchen table and one on the island. I suppose I should go get those flowers in water now. Mom also got a bouquet for Lindsay, Mad's teacher.
After the recital, everybody buy Wendy and Dan went out to dinner. Mad was on a major high. Super excited and happy. After eating her dinner of mac 'n cheese and fruit, she got to have vanilla ice cream. Which she shared with KJ.
Mad passed out on the ride home. Joe brought her in from the car, took her to bed and that was the end of the night.
