Last Ballet Recital

Maddie just finished her last ever year of ballet.  She has taken since she was 4 years old but decided she was finished with it and tired of dancing.  I'm happy that she is done because it is one less place to have to "run" to, but kind of sad too because it is just another sign that she is growing up.  She's identifying the activities that she likes the best and narrowing down to just those things.  So, her very last recital was on June 16th.  We lucked out this year - her group was the 8th in line so there were not very many to sit through before we got to her.  Her Mimi and Papa and Nana and Grandpa came to watch her and of course Daddy and her brothers did too.  They all left after she danced but I had to stay through to the end. 

She did perfectly.  In fact, she knew the steps without looking at the instructor and she even had other girls looking at her to know what was next.  As always, we are so proud of her and the way she always gives her all.
