Ballet concert

Did I ever EVER think a child of mine would wear makeup at 5 years old?
Nope.
Did I surprise myself by thinking it was sorta kinda fun to indulge
this girly side of my daughter that only faintly exists in me?
Admittedly, yes.
 She was blissfully happy and I found myself very much
enjoying the day with her.
She's had such a fun year doing ballet.
She performed so well on stage with her group, paying attention to detail
and feeling so proud to be doing it in front of so many people.
Perhaps it's not such a terrible thing to let her continue for a bit... the jury's still out...
Luckily the makeup is only for the concert - it's more makeup
than I have ever worn, even on my wedding! :)

Oh yes - AMAZING!! Perfectly acceptable to indulge the girlie side of your beauty - what a fun time that must have been for her. And wonderful pictures to last a lifetime!

Oh. My. She certainly is a beautiful young lady, isn't she? What fun... I say let her continue ballet. What could it hurt? ;/

Am glad you enjoyed the day. I wonder if you would have said that so unreservedly if you were the parent sitting there for all 5 acts of the 3 hours performance (in which your daughter was on stage for 90 seconds)?
