Talia's Dance Recital

Talia has been taking dance since last September.  I put her in it mostly to give her something to help develop balance and coordination, as well as interact in a class type setting.  She has spent most of the time playing, so I was both excited and nervous for her dance recital.

She looks so grown up!

The girls lined up on stage...(That's Talia on the very end on the right).

Talia spends a good portion of her class playing in the mirrors, so I didn't exactly know what she would do once she got up on stage.  I was surprised and so excited to see her do her dance!  She knew all the moves, and did such a great job...and I confess, I cried because she really is no longer a toddler...she's a (big) little girl! 

Cole got these better close-ups with his camera...I got distracted by my daughter actually dancing, and forgot to zoom.

After the girls performed, they went off stage, and received their year end awards...which was a trophy.

Talia was THRILLED to get her trophy...she's wanted one ever since she saw the ones on display in the waiting room at Spotlight Dance.  It even has her name on it. 

It was really fun to see my baby perform.
