Every year at the Trac they have a father/daughter dance. It's very expensive and thousands of people go. I thought you were too young to go to the dance this year, especially considering the expense but I was also afraid of the crowd of people. Daddy was a little disappointed but understood. Then a few weeks later we heard about another father/daughter dance being held at the church down the road. The girl scouts were hosting the dance as a fundraiser. It was only $15. We decided that it would be fun to let you go to that dance. Grandma Karen had given you a very pretty Easter dress for your birthday that was perfect for the dance. We told you a few days before the dance and you were so excited. You kept telling us it was a "princess dance."
The day of the dance I took you to a new salon called Kid Biz. You got your hair cut and styled, complete with glitter. The salon owner is an acquaintance of mine and she totally spoiled you. You were about as excited as they come. After your hair was done I took you to payless to buy some shoes for your dress. We picked out some pink sandals that would match the dress, but that you could wear for summer too. You LOVE picking out shoes so that only added to your excitement.
When we finally got home, we put on your princess dress. You kept telling me, "nice." I told you to go show Daddy and he ooohed and aaaahhhed appropriately. Although, he didn't have to try hard because you were adorable. You even spun a few times in your dress.
You were in a hurry to leave, and kept telling the boys "Bye! Love You Too!" The boys thought it was all pretty fun watching you get dressed up and getting ready to go on your date.
We took a few pictures outside with you and Daddy and you completely hammed it up for the camera. Daddy was having a good time already. The two of you were pretty cute!
Daddy took you to dinner at Applebees and then to the dance. He said you had a great time at both places. Kendall was at the dance and you danced with her a lot. Daddy said you two would dance and then run to the table for a drink or bite of cookie, dance, and then run to the table. You danced with Daddy, enjoyed all the cute snacks, and thoroughly enjoyed yourself. You didn't stay for the whole dance, because that would have been a little long for you. When you got home you showed everyone the plate of snacks you brought home and shared with the boys. Then you asked me to help you strip down and you snuggled on the couch with a blanky and watched The Gruffalo. I went to snuggle with you and after a few minutes of sitting together and watching the movie you turned to me and said, "Daddy, Dance, FUN!" You've never announced having a good time like that before so it was pretty special that you chose this event to be your first announcement of a good time.
You are such a sweetie pie. A true princess. I love you, and I'm so glad you enjoyed your special dance with Daddy.
Love,
Mommy
