A Big First But Definitely Not The Last...

We had so much fun this past weekend at Cupcake's dance recital!!! She did so well and we were all so proud of her! I was so nervous because at both dress rehearsals she did not want to perform she had what we like to call a mini melt-down...I may or may not have bribed her to get her to not be scared the night of the performance. I kept saying "are you going to be happy or sad at the recital??? If you are happy you will get some pretty pink flowers after..." Needless to say the bribe did its job! So well actually that she almost peed her pants on stage!!! Haha it was the most comical thing I have ever witnessed with this child yet! She was trying so hard to do the moves but kept pulling a Michael Jackson and holding herself...at one point she was holding the front and back! We all could not help but laugh and wait patiently. I am sure all the Mom's thought she has the worst parents, that didn't take her to the restroom before hand. Oh but don't you worry anyone that knows Cupcake knows that its a 24/7 thing...it might possibly be a nervous habit and I did take her before! I also asked her if she needed to go afterwords and she said "no". Needless to say we were just thrilled and proud as could be that she stayed up there and kept everyone laughing and I mean everyone!!! I had lots of strangers and friends tell me that she stole the show...as they say in show business...The show must go on!!! This was such a fun first moment for our family but definitely not the last!
