Friday night was Reese's first ballet recital. She was so excited. It was at The Pantages theater in Tacoma. Kind of a big theater. Thursday night we had gone to the theater and had rehearsal. I was thinking she's gonna go on stage and stand there and then some how be gathered up to get off the stage. She always amazes me. As we are standing backstage int he darkness I squatted down next to her. She looks at me with those big dark eyes, "Momma, I just essited." I squeezed her and gave her a kiss. She was a balloon (the theme was The Carnival). There were only three of them. Reese led the line out on the stage, hands on her hips "skipping" (galloping really). They went in their circle and eventually sat down. A clown pointed at her and she stood up and did her pirouette, "skipped" around the stage and sat back down. The clown handed her her balloon. Then each of the other girls did theirs and they skipped off the stage. I was so proud. She was so giddy. I asked her if she wanted to do that again. She said, "Yes, right now??" Looks like we might have a little performer in our midst.
