We have been going to dance every Monday for almost 9 months now. Today, we got to witness her adorableness and hard work.
We had to stop for a quick pic on the way in; she’s getting excited!

All posed and ready, I gave her pep talk.

Now, it’s all her!
Ballet first. She was poised, smiley and graceful. God was with her in her Spirit!

Daddy and Mama were so proud of her (not to mention her mommy!)
Thank you for the flowers, Daddy. Mama got her a nice dress and necklace to praise her hard work.

I gave her a refreshing water bottle and a fun game of Qwirkle with Daddy to celebrate. I love the little things like this with our family. Time home just hanging. I am so proud of you, Tatum. You did it.

Tatum ALWAYS appreciates everything. She never fails to ooh and aah of her gratitude for her blessings. It’s one of her best qualities. I LOVE YOU SWEET GIRL!
