Kady's First Dance Recital!

Ok, so I am gonna stay true to my word and post about Kady's recital tonight!

I can't even begin to tell you how much fun it was to go through this with her. Yes, I know she is only 3, and how big could it be....but oh, what a moment we had! Yesterday it started with dropping her off for the dress rehearsal at 9am. I didn't get to go in and watch as they wanted to keep it a surprise for the parents. So, 2 1/2 hours later I picked her up and she told me how much fun it was. She had her "make-up" on and even though we needed to run errands, she kept those "rosy cheeks" on until the last possible moment last night. Since Dad and Kole were up in the desert at Nanas house and then to Brent's house to watch the fight, Kady and I layed on the couch together after Maxx went to bed and watched TV. She looked up at me and said "Mom, is tomorrow my special Day? You know, like on Dora when it is Boot's special Day?" I assured her it was her special day. So, this morning when she woke up, Kole started to sing to her.."It's Kady's special Day, It's Kady's special Day!" She had the biggest half awake smile! So we ate our breakfast and slowly got ready, put her "million dollar" outfit on and headed out the door to get her checked in for her "Special Day"! Well we got her checked in, and then got in line for seats. Ohhh, big thank you to everyone who came....Papa Tim, Nannie, Grandma, Uncle Master, Chelle, Aunt Erin, Marissa and of course....to Ah-ma (Maddie) for watching Maxx so we could actually enjoy the show! As the show started, I got kinda nervous and started thinking, "will she do it? will she smile? will she enjoy herself?" Then, act 6 came and her class came out on the stage, the lights went up and she was all smiles! She did the whole dance and made us so proud!" I have to say, it was truly a "mommy moment" I got a little misty eyed as for those two and a half minutes my "little girl" was up on a huge stage, with lights all over her, in front of several hundred people (if not more) and she did it like she was sitting at home in front of "Dad and Mom"! Kady, if you ever get to read this some day....We are super proud of you and you are an amazing girl! Tonight when I got home, I posted a note on facebook, and my friend Kortney (whose daughter Belle is in the same class and also happens to be Kady's best friend) also posted something and it truly brought a smile to my face. (So Kort, I am stealing this from you to share with my friends and family...I hope you don't mind!) "Many firsts in their lives, Dance recital took up a special spot!" So without keeping you in suspense too much longer.....May I share with you.....
