Mariana was in her first recital today. She danced a single dance with her class to the song "Christmas Wish." It was a simple dance, seeing as how the dancers were 2-3 years old. But it was wonderful. She was so beautiful on stage. She did a great job, moving gracefully, doing her best to remember the choreography.
It was a proud parent moment to be sure. In fact, I did cry. We sat, with Maddy on our lap, the entire family there. Everyone present to watch my beautiful girl in her first recital. Moments like this are to be cherished.
Madeline is reaching the point where she can sit up with assistance. If you let her go, she maintains her balance for up to 10 seconds at a time, but then inevitably falls over. She is the giggliest girl in the world. I tell you that girl giggles and smiles at everyone. I am so proud of both of them.
