One of Us Is Ready for the Big Stage

Last night Janae had a dressed rehearsal for her dance recital. All day I was as nervous as I would be if I was the one performing . . . but I tried not to let it show because I was worried about passing my jitters on to Janae.

An hour before we needed to get there, I did Janae's hair and make-up, got her dressed, then made her sit on a chair until it was time to go.

 

When we got there, Janae was SO excited to see the big stage and auditorium.

 

She danced in the aisles with her friends while she waited for her turn to go on stage.

 

When the music started, she step-hopped, twirled and sang out, just like she'd practiced in class.

 

Afterwards she was as happy as a little girl could be.

She is so unlike her mother!
