I've just spent the better part of 48 hours freezing to death at an area convention center. The corridor of an unheated convention center is not exactly the location for a relaxing weekend in January. But weekend corridor sitting is one of my responsibilities as a dance mom. I typically spend my weekends sitting in the corridor of a convention center or a hotel (it costs an additional fee to actually watch the classes--no, thank you!). Believe me, it makes for some really long days... But the benefits for my daughter are usually worth it.
The Princess and her dance company were competing at a regional event for individual scholarships and team awards. While I don't really enjoy the actual conventions, I do enjoy the competition and closing shows. Today was no exception--the performances were truly amazing. In fact, one of the numbers brought several of the audience members to tears--seriously, they're that good!
So, in honor of my frozen toes, and my days of boredom interspersed with fleeting moments of amazingness, I'd like to share a favorite photo of the weekend.
Anyway--Congratulations on your scholarship, cutie! You deserve it! And yay! I won't have to pay tuition next time! That's two in a row! That almost makes the frostbite tolerable... Almost.

Wow is that your daughter? That's amazing.
Okay. I'll admit it! I was brought to tears. Watching The Princess dance yesterday was nothing short of extraordinary. She is inspiring and incredibly talented. She lights up the stage! I can't imagine being that good at anything, and I'm honored to get to watch her once in a while.
OMG(osh)! She REALLY IS a Princess! (and an accomplished one at that...)
beautiful photo!
did you take it?
Yes, this is actually my beautiful dancing daughter. And yes, amazingly enough, I took this photo. Glad you like it!
She is amazing! I think those "mom moments" are what gets us through some of the other craziness that goes along with "mom" ness.
