When I arrived at the auditorium, someone asked if I needed a donut. Dance mom I am not, I assume I was being offered a delicious pastry...
Apparently, in the world of 'dance moms' a donut does not mean a sugary delight. Grace and I were both disappointed. A donut is what a dance mom would use to create the perfect bun.
Apparently, my mom was not a dance mom either.
So, in the end, dance mom or not, my little girl was transformed into a beautiful ballerina...
And this mom beamed on with pure pride.
oh my gosh, what absolutely GORGEOUS pictures! i would not be a dance mom either, for i thought that donut was a bath sponge.
ReplyDeleteShe is a beauty!! I would have thought a delicious doughnut as well..haha.
ReplyDeleteawwww, what a gorgeous little ballerina u have there! ;) this is SO sweet! the pic of her on the floor looking away, she just looks like she is made to be a ballerina! (: love this amy!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Carrie. She may look like a ballerina, and though I am super proud of her, she didn't do much dancing in her recital. She just stood on stage and waved...maybe she thought it was a Ms. America toddler version :)
DeleteFunny and so gorgeous!!! Hugs to you xxx
ReplyDeleteOh I don't know... you sound like there's a dancer you might be on your way to being a dance mom! =) LOVE THIS - Grace looks gorgeous and ironically, so graceful!
ReplyDeleteShe is absolutely adorable. That must have been the cutest little recital ever! Her hair looks gorgeous too.
ReplyDeleteGrace looks absolutely beautiful! What a true princess! Oh and Non-Dance Mom... a fantastic photographer you sure are! That picture of Grace resting her head in her hands is perfection!
ReplyDeleteAww--so cute! I remember that my mom had one of those donuts when I was little (for her, not for me--apparently she wasn't a dance-mom either). But I was fascinated by that little doo-dad. I would sneak into her bathroom just to play with it.
ReplyDeleteCould she be any cuter!! I remember our daughters first dance recital in the sweet balerina costume. Last year's costume was a pink sequined hip hop one, I miss the tutus and hair in a bun!!! Such a sweet wonderful time! Glad you all had fun. I love the picture of you dancing too. Just great, thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute! I wouldn't have known what a donut was too. Where do you get those donuts? I was planning on getting Suraya's hair done professionally for her uncle's wedding, but just maybe I can do it myself with a donut... er um... or maybe not! I can see myself not manage how to use a donut;P
ReplyDeleteThanks Maysem! You can get those little gadgets at Sally Beauty Supply for a few dollars. They are REALLY easy to use.
DeleteHow cute is that... I had no idea what a donut was either.. lol and looking at it, I might still have tried to eat it! HAHAAHA! You are such a good Mommmy! I love that you have photo's of you close to that same age in a ballerina outfit as well... like Mother like Daughter, it's so cute..
ReplyDeleteLove it!!

Carri, you always make me either laugh or smile and this time you did both. Thank you!
DeleteAwe, now you made me cry. That shot of you precious little one lying on the floor with her face in her hands? A keeper. A framer. A hang on the waller ...

Amy, this is such a sweet story and your little princess is a darling! Thanks for explaining the doughnut. :)
ReplyDeleteOh Amy! Grace is such a stunning little ballerina - you must have enjoyed her recital so much! I would have no clue as to how to make a bun with that 'donut' thingy - then again, I am a hockey mom and the only thing I had to learn how to do was tie skates and tape the end of a hockey stick! Ha! Thanks for sharing these pics!
