Emma's Dance Recital

Emma had her very first dance recital last Friday.  The night before I took her to her dress rehearsal and it did not go well.  She cried most of the time and for the times that she wasn't crying she had her fingers in her mouth and didn't do any of her dance.  I was really nervous going into the concert that she was going to react the exact same way she did the night before.  All day Friday we talked about what she was doing that night and I made sure that she took a nap and kept my fingers crossed as she walked back stage with the girl that was in charge of her.  She did awesome and had so much fun up there.  Kyle and I watched her with little tears in our eyes because she all of sudden seemed so big to us.  Her dance was to Under the Sea from the Little Mermaid.  I think she was most excited for the flowers that Kyle and Corbin brought for her after her dance recital was over.  She still looks at them and tells me that those are her flowers from her special dance recital.
