Dance Recital

Ella loves to dance, but hates to have to go to dance class. I think she hates to have her day interrupted to get dressed to go rehearse. She was very excited for the night they "go on the big stage." She did a great job, I was so proud of her. At dress rehearsal she slipped on stage in her tap shoes and my heart stopped. Ella hopped right back up, her eyes found me in the audience and she quickly said, "I'm okay, mom." and kept right on going. That incident could have gone either way- I'm glad she was confident enough to keep dancing. A few minutes later, I was walking up the steps in the audience and I fell down! Like daughter- like mother. I was really embarrassed but I figured if Ella can brush it off on stage, I can brush it off too.
This picture is blurry but I had to post it since she is looking at Kent in the camera


This is Ella receiving her dance certificate

Is there anybody quite as unique as Ella? I just get a kick out of every picture I see of her. I'm sorry you fell down--all of us have had those embarrassing moments a few times in life, for sure!

What a great costume!! You are lucky to have a little girl to enjoy. She really is expressive in her photos and must be such fun. Wish I knew her a little better but I love your photos to keep me updated.
