Lily's First Recital

After nine long months of dance, Lily's big day on stage finally arrived.  There were sock buns and lipstick and mascara and hairspray.  Lots of hairspray.  All my years as a competitive figure skater could not have prepared me to be a dance mom.  My mother tried telling me it was the same thing but it's so so different.  Suitcases of makeup and rolling racks of costumes and costume changes between numbers.  It was extremely overwhelming.  But Lily loved it and so here we are...signed up for dance camp this summer and already again for lessons starting in the fall.  It's worth it to see the smile on her face.
