Erin's Dance Recital

The plan today is to catch up on blogging! So many fun and exciting things have been happening lately and I haven't been able to sit down and share.
First up, Erin had her dance recital on May 31st. 99% of these pictures and video are from her dress rehearsal the day before. The dress rehearsal was as important (if not more) than the actual recital to me. This was the day we could get pictures and video. So that morning I took her to get her hair done, she was very excited to have a proper ballet bun :)
We then stopped by Erin's bff Sophie's house to do makeup and get pictures of our bestie girls. Erin had been scared of makeup up until that day, I'm so glad she let me put it on her, she looked so pretty.





With her Sophie. 


The dress rehearsal and recital went down pretty much the same. Not perfection by any means but these kids are 3 & 4 and I think they did amazing. I was so proud of Erin. She sucked her thumb a little in rehearsal but the day of the big show she didn't do it once.
Here are a couple video of the cuteness (during dress rehearsal).

This one is right after the recital was over and we were leaving. She got really upset and scared at the end when they had all the dancers on stage for a big balloon drop. She said she couldn't find me in the audience and she was scared. Poor thing. I should have explained that I wouldn't be standing right by the stage like in rehearsal. Once we were reunited after the show she quickly forgot about it though and said she had fun. I hope so!
(And fyi, I did her hair this day...buns are not easy!)
I hope she continues with dance in the fall, I really enjoy seeing her up on stage and I know she enjoys the classes. Maybe not balloon drops though.
