The weekend Molly has waited for finally arrived this past Saturday. She woke up at 6:45am and began asking if it was time for the Daddy/Daughter dance! She was very excited to get going. However, she had a long time to wait. So I decided that we were going to have a little mommy/daughter time before she left for the dance. We went to the nail salon and got our nails done and then had lunch over at Panera. Our plan was for her to get home from lunch and take a nap....that of course, didn't happen. So we started getting her ready about 3:30 and we were out the door at 4:45 after some picture taking outside. I really felt like she was getting ready for prom! Once we got to the middle school where the dance was held, she got very very excited and giddy about everything going on. Her and Daddy got their tickets and then began following the princess stars that led through the auditorium to the gym where the activities were held. I, of course, did not get to go beyond the auditorium, but Molly gave me a big kiss and went on her way. Keith said that there were easily 250 kids there. They got professional pictures taken, ate a little dinner, played games, Molly bounced in the jumpy castle, she got her hair spray painted with glitter and hot pink color, and she colored some pictures. I got the phone call to pick them up at about 7pm. Molly came out without shoes on, cotton candy in her hand, and the biggest smile on her face! Keith had just as big of a smile, but looked a little more tired. Molly informed me it was the best day of her life. We layed her down for bed at 7:30 and she was out at 7:35. They had so much fun together and hope to make it an annual thing they do together!

Dear Nicky,
ReplyDeleteI knew Keith’s other dance dates – at least those in high school. No question, Molly’s the best.
With unconditional love,
