The week before the recital was stage rehearsals. We had prepped her and talked a lot about what it would be like on stage and that there would be lights and lots of people, and so on and so fourth. Nothing seemed to phase her, she couldn't wait.
We got her in full costume, minus her shoes because I'm a rockstar mom and forgot them. No big deal right?! Wrong! Turns out it's also picture night.... so that was fun! Thankfully a good friend let us borrow her daughters. And even more thankfully we had the pictures done before her rehearsal, because she ripped her expensive recital day tights the first time she wore them! As a type A person who likes to be in control... I was freaking out! All was well though when we made an emergency run out to get new ones for the big weekend.
She had two shows, Friday and Saturday evening. Friday she was all jacked up and danced her little heart out. Saturday we were distracted by an un-tied shoe lace and pretty much got only half the performance. It was certainly hilarious though to watch.
Many thanks to all the family that came to see Sloane, she was so excited to have you all there!
