First Ballet Recital

 We have just weathered our first ballet recital weekend.  With three performances and a dress rehearsal over three days we are exhausted.  But Allison loved it - both the performing and watching the other dancers so I suppose it was worth it.  Her Tuesday pre-ballet class were 'flowers' - they started all tightly scrunched up as 'buds.'

 By the end of the weekend I was also impressed with how well I could make a bun out of Allison's hair - and have it stay in place for two performances and lots of running around in between!

 Allison had several pre-school, kindergarten and CAPS friends also at the recital - it was really fun to get to reconnect with friends we hadn't seen in a long time (or since, well, Wednesday!).  I was backstage for two performances and had fun with all the kiddos from the girls' preschool (these two and their buddy Payton all have siblings in the toddler class right now).
