little bird

Little bird

that's been my nickname for her since she was born.

my smallest daughter at birth, weighing 6 lbs,

with petite delicate features & the brightest blue eyes.

she was an easy pregnancy, delivery, baby & basically is still an easy child.

are all middle ones so?

This is a big week for her

this coming weekend will be her final performance

having come to dan & i weeks ago, sharing that she wanted to stop dancing

for 11 years this has been her world

the last two years , it has completely consumed her

dancing 5 days a week and during production- 7 days a week.

while i want my girls to find a passion, i want them to be balanced and feel that they can enjoy many facets of their life. ballet has been an all consuming , year round love of hers. i have thoroughly enjoyed watching her in her element up on the stage

but she feels its time to spread her wings

so little bird

i am so proud of you

i stand behind you completely supporting your decision

(which ever way you went sweet girl, we were going to be right here for you)

i pray these years in dance have engraved self confidence & joy in your soul

i pray the future years will do just the same

no matter where the path may lead

may you spread your wings

sweet child

& fly

Happy 14th Birthday my Madison Grace

You are loved more than you'll ever know

You will always be my tiny dancer
