Friday night we had Ava's first dance recital. It consisted of 2 1/2 hours of girls from the age of 3 to 18 doing different routines. While I thought it was adorable, the dads and brothers were not as impressed. Ava and I traveled to the recital with our neighbors Ella and Reagan and their moms. The 3 dads and 5 brothers followed shortly after. I think the men/boys sat in the audience and complained the whole time. The moms, however, were behind the scenes keeping the girls entertained during the whole show (minus the 7 minutes they were actually on stage). It hit 8pm (Ava's normal bedtime) and she still had 2 dances to do! She was a trooper and super cute the whole time. At the end, there was a grand finale with all 100+ dancers on the stage and all the parents watching with flowers-in-hand for their dancer. I grabbed Ava from the stage and took her up to her brothers, who were holding her flowers. It brought a flood of memories back to me from my dancing days and was truely more emotional for me than I had expected. Now we are done until September, which isn't so bad either!
