Dancing!

Vanessa finished her third year of dance, and she had her big dance recital at the beginning of May. I really love her dance teacher because instead of competing, she holds mini recitals throughout the year, then has a giant one for her students' families and friends to showcase what they've learned.

When I first enrolled Vanessa, it was because she was a bit uncoordinated. She would constantly trip over her own feet and she looked awkward as she walked. Her teacher for the last few years, Miss Jessica, has worked really hard with her and Vanessa adores her! And, Miss Jessica is so proud when she tells me of the progress Vanessa has made.

After the recital, Vanessa asked, "You're signing me up for next year, right? Make sure you remember to sign me up, Mom!"

As you wish, Princess.
