Recital Ups and Downs and a Final Bow

Lydia had her last recital...at least for now unless she tells us she wants to dance again. I could tell towards the end of the year, well really half way through that she just wasn't into it but we had already ordered costumes and we want to instill in our children that we don't quit half way through, that we finish what we start.

She did not go out on stage for the tap dance (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) at rehearsal so I was so happy when she actually walked on stage during recital, however, she instantly turned her back to the crowd and cried. My heart broke but I told her how great she did just walking out on stage.

Our Honey Bee Dance was a different story, that girl rocked the dance, she did so well! She was the cutest darn honey bee and I was beaming with pride backstage as I watched. This girl is just full of surprises and keeps us on our toes!!
