Tippy Toes

Based on Addie's attitude as we waited at the back stage door and the fact that she went in with the mob of mini dancers without me, I actually thought she might pull off the performance of the century!

As adorable as she was, my first instinct proved to be correct as there was no actual dancing. She stood there very nicely, grinning with her tongue out, taking in the scenery. I wouldn't have missed it for the world!

Equally unsuccessful was my wish for a picture with the little ballerina. Too much sun and too little focus.

I was still very proud of my big girl and off we went to Elizabeth Creamery for celebratory ice cream.
(This might be my favorite dessert spot and happens to be where we ended up on the way home from the hospital after Addie was born - just a fun side note.)

Besides the Performing Arts Director calling Addie's lack of dancing out in front of the entire theater, another perk of being a YMCA staff, is the people taking care of the dancers backstage sent me a few pictures.
