Break a leg --or so the saying goes

EV has been taking ballet this past year and we absolutely love this ballet school.  First, it's not broken into mini sessions where you potentially could have a different instructor or different classmate every several weeks.  It's also at our church so the focus isn't necessarily about dancing for the sake of dancing but dancing for the purpose of glorifying God.  And they have a large recital at the end.  This recital is exciting because they get to dress up, perform on a large stage, and receive tons of accolades for their hard work throughout the year.  EV has been looking forward to this all year but man is it hard work (not just for the kids but the parents too).  EV is now at an age where she has practices, performances, and games.  For a kid that is actually very shy, she loves being on stage and in front of a lot of people.  She said her favorite part of the recital was dancing.  She had the biggest smile on her face and she had a great time. 

At the end of it all, I was sad that it was over.  I appreciate her teachers, the friends she made this year, and all the fun she had learning how to dance.  We can't wait to do it all again next year!
