There was a dance at the Girl's school on Friday. Truthfully, it started out kind of bumpy. The girl curled up next to The Man and I at our spot against the cafeteria wall. The music was loud and all of the kids looked so big. She was at the point of tears before she spotted a sweet 5th grade girl beckoning her over. It broke the spell and she danced until there was no more music to be danced to. These school dances are so bittersweet. Watching the littles dance in such an innocent, carefree way, surrounded by friends...and realizing it's only a matter of time before they are up and out of our small school...it's enough to make a mama weepy.
This picture is of the Girl playing tag with two of her good friends as the dance came to a close. I know it's blurry, and kind of hard to tell what's going on...but I love, love, love it anyway.
