Tiny dancers

Today was B and Mag's first dance recital. I have to admit, they were adorable. I am amazed at their ability to just get up on stage and dance in front of all those people. They were not nervous at all. Mags was just so excited to be doing the dance with all her friends. In fact, on the way to the dress rehearsal (which was less than fun) Mags and her BF Eva were having the most adorable conversation about how time just flew by this year.

Me: Girls, can you believe it? Your dance recital is finally here.

Eva: I can' believe it is finally here.

Mags: It seems like it was just a little bit ago that we started dance class.

Eva: And now our show is here. Time goes by fast when you are having fun (or something like that).

It really was adorable, this conversation. I love listening to the two of them talk to each other. They have deep conversations about seatbelt laws, God, and ice cream flavors. I love it.

But back to the dance recital. Mags was one of the first ones to go. She really was not nervous just full of excitement. When we got back stage, I started to get a little nervous because some girls were crying and nervous. I wanted to stay away from them. Mags did not even notice. She went right over to her friends and started being silly. B did notice. She got a little clingy. She is not one that likes to be left alone, or just left in general. She wanted me to hold her for a bit, then color with her, but I did get out after a few minutes. I have to admit, I was a little nervous I would not see her on stage, but she was there and she did great.

Mags was very into her dance and was very graceful. HEr and Eva (really the two I was focused on) knew the dance very well. Mags also told a friend or two what to do a few times! Her class was one of the better classes (in a totally unbiased opinion... but really even the family behind us with out a child in the class, was commenting on how well they did.). They all knew what to do and where to go. This was not the case of all the classes. And Mags was great. B's class was amazing for the little ones. They also knew what they were doing and were able to sneak peaks off the side to see their teacher and follow along. B got a little distracted at the end and kept walking when everyone else had stopped and started the next move. The funny thing is, she did the same thing at the dress rehearsal and went to the same spot... maybe she planned it that way!

I was a proud mama today. Glad to see my cuties with the confidence to do what they did!
