My Tiny Dancer

Last weekend was a busy dance weekend for Bella.  The weekend itself wasn’t too busy (nor was the actual dancing) but the driving sure was – almost an hour drive across town!   She performed two different dances, one on Saturday and one on Sunday.  She did great, and had a great time, which is what matters most.  She loves to perform, and just shines on stage.   I’m not sure where she gets it from, it certainly isn’t from me!   It makes me so proud to see her get up with such confidence, grace and poise.  It is really remarkable to me, and I hope she will always that wonderful confidence and belief in herself.

This is where it gets crazy...  :)

We were SO proud of her.  Rick and I both had tears in our eyes watching her perform up on that great big stage.  I’ve never liked getting up in front of people doing anything, and to watch her get up there, perform and have a BLAST – it’s just fabulous, and makes all the time (and money!) we spend at the dance studio completely worth it.

Yay!  Happy Dancer!
