Not too long ago Laney, 3, had her first dance recital.  This was great fun for me.  I grew up at the dance studio and love just being at the theater.  I had my first recital when I was four.  We performed Mr. Bo jangles on a high school stage.  These days’ recitals are at the Gwinnett Civic Center with real dressing rooms, a huge stage, sets, and lights.  I remember being in the band room with the other dancer waiting to perform.  My love for being back stage lead me to sign up to be a back stage mom.  That was quite an experience, 50 girls under 8yr old in a room from 6:30-11:00pm.  They were not the only ones who were hungry and tired at the end of the day.  Little Laney made her debut and was quite a star.  She was very confident even though she was not always correct.  She really got the audience laughing.  What a cutie!
