to the 4th floor

To say that I daydreamed of one day having my own little girls dancing on stage is a major understatement. I mean, the second I found out Marisa was a girl my mind instantly turned the color pink, sparkled with pearls, and filled with bows and tutus. Truly!

While dressed in soft lavender, smiling from ear to ear, Natalie made my momma heart leap with excitement, swell with pride, and ache with complete adoration as I watched her dance on stage for the first time a few days ago.

She was stunning to watch. She was sweet, she was confident, she was graceful, she was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. And oh, so darn cute.
