It was Jane's first recital thanks to her diligent "Aunt Mo-Mo" who flat out enrolled her behind my back! I was not up for it and Amanda insisted that it was important-she was right. This was by far one of my favorite things I have ever done with Jane. A week of putting on clown make-up, sitting on my bathroom counter-making her hair as tight as I could get it, and getting her costume just perfect. It was a week full of bobby-pins, hair spray, eye-liner and pink clothes!! Jane soaked it all up and was the perfect candidate for this stressful week which was all about her! It was such a fun experience to watch Jane step out of her element and feel like a princess on stage. She had two costumes, a bunny which was the ballet number. Hopping Bunnies are we!! And an elephant, da-na-na-na-na-na-na. Faith, AKA Mrs. Frellington stole the show with this number. It was a tap number and she thought it was important to stomp throughout the performance and make mean faces. I was so proud of our little girls! Grace, Faith & Jane were amazing. It is so fun to see them together. Even though Jane doesn't have any real sisters right now, they truly are! Amanda and I got to be back-stage Moms. I have decided that Amanda has turned into a stage Mom over the years! This is serious business. Jane called it the "Macital" all week, and is still having flashbacks. Jane, you were amazing. I feel blessed everday to be in your presence. I love every minute I have with you, and was so proud of you for getting up there and putting on a show! This was a definite highlight of my year!
Jane has officially finished her first year of preschool last week. I couldn't have asked for a better year. She had the most amazing teacher, Sister Douglas-whom she often called "Mr. Douglas." She loved going everytime and had a wonderful experience. She knows the alphabet, numbers, shapes & colors much better now! We were sad to see the year end. There were 6 kids in her class, Tessa, Taylin, Colsen, Daniel & Rastin.
