Ballet Recital Part 2
Posted by Daphne on Thursday, September 4th, 2008
If you remember, a while ago I showed you the sad, forlorn-looking photo of Vivien for her portrait preceding her ballet recital. She was, of course, a triumph in both of her recitals. But, I was conflicted over if I was being too pushy by dressing her up and wanting her to take a cute picture. I know she'll love to see it 20 years from now. As will I, because I am sure she will never come to visit… Maybe she'll want it for her senior page, right?
So, I brought her big brother Oliver to help me elicit a positive response. Look how well it turned out! Pushy mom triumphs once again.
Love it! As the mother of a 19 year old dd, she will appreciate it when she's older. Mine loves to look at baby pics and talk about how cute she was!
Thanks. I know I did. partly because as the third there only about 7 pictures of me!
OMG she's too cute, I just posted Kai's firest dance class videos. Is that her recital dress?
Aww, just too too precious!!
Yes, it was her dress. $50, but so cute. Thanks all.
Kai's will be 55 and I can't wait to see it!
She's too cute her in pretty dress!
Kristin, you'll be so psyched. Nice to share it with the grandparents if they are nearby.
Great photo! I've got one of my then 3-year-old dressed as a ladybug for her ballet recital. That photo alone was worth the advance wrinkles I incurred as a volunteer, helping the 3 year old group practice and wait, wait, and then wait some more for their turn. It was like herding cats on acid. (the cats being on acid, not the moms). We used the photo for my daughter's bday party invite. I really like the earlier photo of your daughter being forlorn too.
Signed, a new fan to your site. I love it!
thanks Elizabeth. I volunteered to help at a recital too, which can be dangerous cause I maybe a tad to controlling.
