Yesterday, Glamourcraft Studios came to Grace’s ballet class to take pictures. She was thrilled to be able to wear her recital costume for the first time!
Her ballet instructor asked us to put a little make-up on the girls so they wouldn’t wash out in the photos. Actually, they instructed us to put on eyeliner so their eyes would “pop.” I challenge any mother out there to put eyeliner on a five-year-old. If only I had thought to take a picture of Grace’s face after I attempted the impossible… She looked something like this:
Not fun.
So I scrubbed her up and started over, sans eye liner. A little blush, pink eye shadow, lip gloss, and she looked fine.
Here she is waiting patiently in the hallway with her peeps.
The photographers (wisely) wouldn’t let any parents in the room during the photo shoot. I would have paid money to see them take the group picture with 15 miniature ballerinas age 3-5. Grace also had individual pictures taken, so I’ll be really interested to see what they look like and what kind of poses they did. I’ll post them when I get them!

Guess what one thing I remember from my first dance recital, when I was 5? Screaming and fighting my mother, who was trying to apply eye liner and mascara. Lesson learned, and last year when it was my daughter's recital I too stuck to blush, eye shadow and some lip gloss.
