{Ellie and Alex, May 2012}
My daughter, Alex, performed in her second ballet performance recently. We were out of town for the dress rehearsal and her last class so I was a little nervous driving to the theater. Would she totally forget what she was doing and freeze up? Would she frantically look for us in the crowd? Would she pee on stage like that poor little girl last year? All I could think to stay when I dropped her with the volunteer was, "Just smile big, honey!"
And then she completely surprised me as she twirled and tiptoed her way through her routine like she had spent the last week not at Disney World but diligently perfecting her pirouette. I could not help but tear up as she curtsied with a big smile on her sweet face.
