Our little ballerina

I'm not sure that there is anything more adorable than a first recital. The whole family was so excited, however Peyton was not so sure. She started out super grumpy because her tutu was itchy and I made her bun a bit too tight, with one of the pins sticking her. Not a good Mommy move!! But when I left her backstage with her friends in matching tutus and yummy snacks, she seemed ok.

She had so many fans! Lovey drove up as well as Doc and DeBe. Laura came and so did Beth, Emily, and Natalie. When it was her groups turn to perform, she stared very seriously at her teacher and followed every move. And she really did so well. Her mood changed again from serious to ecstatic when she saw her roses at the end. Overall it was a great day.

Flash photograghy was not allowed, however, we did got this one picture from the prefomance because Deborah is good at being sneaky. Peyton is on the far left watching Ms Jenny in the wings.

"Why do I get these Mommy?" Because all ballerinas get roses at the end of a great performance!!

Emily and little Natalie. Peyton can barely go a day without these two.
