Maggie’s friend, Lauren, came over Friday afternoon to play, and the two of them put on a ballet show.

They made tickets for Mommy, then met her at the top of the stairs to collect them. They “practiced” with music for quite awhile before asking Mommy to come up, and then put on a beautiful show.

Maggie came out first to announce what was going to happen (you can tell she was just at the circus). Then, they went backstage (the playroom) to make sure they were ready. The two girls then came out holding American flags, and Mommy had to sing the National Anthem while they marched around with the flags.

Finally, it was time for the show. Maggie danced alone to the first song. Lauren was being a little shy. But, by the second song, Lauren was ready to join Maggie on the dance floor. They did some wonderfully artistic things. By the final song, it was “gymnastics time,” which consisted of lots of leaping and jumping!

Mommy gave a huge round of applause when the show was over. They then adjourned downstairs for snacktime.
