Cora wasn't so sure about dance before her Saturday recital. She liked it, but she didn't looooove it. But after an afternoon on stage dressed in a fancy dress and get this--red lipstick!--she is sold on dance forever. When I saw her again after her performance the first thing she said to me was, "I want to dance onstage ten times and then do it ten times again!" This was my first ever dance recital, and it will probably surprise you exactly zero that I cried at least three times, including when the five-year-old class walked onto the darkened stage and I saw one little girl who was at least a head taller than the others, shimmying her shoulders with excitement and flashing a giant smile that was evident even without light. I know nothing of dance recitals or dancing or frankly, of five-year-old girls that like lipstick, but I'm pretty obsessed with this little doll. I love that baby.
Ruby and Cora dance at the same studio, but they performed in different shows. It was a day of dance recitals for me, and it was wonderful!
