I gotta confess though...it was a lot of fun. Sponge rollers...make-up...red lips and nails. The whole package. And Grace was totally fine with all of it...even insisting at one point that she "needed more mascara," and with eyes like hers I was happy to oblige.
Earl made it home just. in. time. to attend the performance. Good thing too...it was definitely an event he didn't want to miss. Being the father of a girl requires a certain degree of "ooooh-ing" and "ahh-ing" and "aren't you pretty!" that a mother can't really deliver.
Baby brother went too. He was the perfect little gentleman and clapped appropriately after each dance group finished.
I was kinda bummed that I didn't get flowers to give Grace after the performance. But Earl said that it was okay...that we'd go for ice cream instead...that ice cream trumps flowers any day.
So we went for ice cream...with sprinkles on top.
It was a fun night. A memorable night. Having a little girl is super fun...but lots of work. It took about 30 minutes to get the bobby pins out of her hair and a good 15 minutes to wipe off the waterproof mascara. It was worth it though...totally worth it.
The. End.
