Third year of dance...

Our ballet recital this year was much different than the past two years. We had to change studios this year... totally mama's fault because I didn't know you couldn't start classes in December. Note to self: sign up EARLY this year.

So we started late and ended up in the only available class on Saturday mornings. Only three little ballerinas in her class and all one year younger than her. But that was okay for my sweet baby girl because it meant she got to be the LEAD! Haha!

(She never met a camera she didn't like. I LOVE that about her...)

The song was "Funny Face" so they kept making funny faces at the crowd. When her teacher, Ms. Rebecca, told her that they were going to be kind of like clowns for their recital, she nearly had a melt down.

"A clown, mommy? I don't WANT to be a clown! Ballerinas aren't clowns!!"

But........when she saw the hot pink and polka dots, she was okay.
Every dancer needs flowers after their big performance! She was so happy to have fans in the crowd: Aunt Susie (a dancer for many years!), Aunt Tracy, Lauren, Nina... and of course our favorite guys Daddy and Brady. Brady kept pointing to the stage saying, "Sissy???" He was excited to see his big sister perform.

I hope Kennedy continues to take dance. If she decides to move on to something else, that's okay, too. But I will ALWAYS remember these days with her beaming personality on stage!
