Dilan's Dance Recital

Dilan had her very first dance recital today. She dressed in her recital costume, and we put her hair up in a bun. She looked absolutely beautiful! Dilan really enjoys her dance class and she did great. She added some funny moments as she chose to show us what "not to do" kicking her legs up and stomping on the ground when the teacher was asking them to do it quietly. She also had a few altercations with some friends when they were trying to get in a single file line. And when one friend tried to get closer and closer to Dilan, Dilan finally told her to stop, and Dilan moved to a different spot on the floor.

Overall, she did really well and participated in everything. She loved doing the stretches on the floor and twirling around in her dress. She tiptoed quietly across the floor with her hands on her hips and when it came time to do her "teddy bear" dance, she paid attention and did a great job of following her teacher. We are very proud of our little girl!
Before we left for the recital

Close up
Having so much fun dancing in a circle
Doing her stretches on the floor

Arms above her head
Walking on tip toes quietly
Dancing with a stuffed animal
Dilan and her teacher, Ms. Lynsey, and her friends
Daddy even came to watch his little girl dance
and a picture with mommy too.

So cute! Can't wait to put Hayden in dance. That is too funny that she told her friend to stop and then moved away!

I love the one of her turned head while she's stretching. It made me smile.
