Costume Day at dancing is pretty much as exciting as the arrival of their birthdays or Christmas Day! Emma's costume arrived first, the week before April break, and Grace's arrived yesterday. From the moment that Emma received her costume Grace couldn't wait for hers to arrive. On our way to her dance class yesterday she asked: "Do you think that today will be the day, mama? Do you think my costume arrived?" And as luck would have it her wish came true! From the moment that both girls were handed their costumes they couldn't stop smiling! They are lovely, these costumes, and with any luck the days will fly by and June (and the recital) will be here before we know it! Until then, there's much practicing and preparing still to do and the costumes will remain in their new found home in my closet.
So much fun! I remember the anticipation of costume day as a kid. And years later as a teacher watching the faces of the little ones I taught as they tried on their costumes was priceless.
ReplyDeleteLove those costumes, so cute!
What a magical day costume day is! And for you to get to experience it first as a dancer and then as a teacher is even more wonderful! Do you think you'll ever return to teaching dance?!
DeleteTheir costumes this year really are amazing and so very "them"! Recital pictures to come next month!
