Ariz hard "work" came to a close. I dont think she saw it at all as work, she had soooo much fun both in class and on stage. I was expecting her to be maybe a little nervous or even a bit shy but not her, she was actually whining about it taking so long for it to be her turn on stage. I'm so proud of her, I think her performance would have been better if she was in an older age group. She was the best out of the 3 little girls in her dance number, during the performance they wound up moving in front of Ariz (blocking her form the audience) and following her lead while Ariz did forget the step changes she performed with a huge smile the entire time and she looked so confident it was funny. She loved getting her hair and make-up done for both the rehearsal and recital itself. It was so crazy backstage with a million little girls in frilly costumes running around in there little matching groups and Ariz just loved it, I think shes gonna be into this for some time and Daddy and I will support her as long as this brings her happiness. The classes were a bit stressful on her closer to the end when practice wasnt going so well but she never showed any signs of not wanting to continue so I think this kinda thing agrees with her.

Daddy was benign with pride the entire time during rehearsal and the recital, he is soooo freaken proud of his little girl.
