Yesterday was Mia's debut as a baby butterfly in MAPA's spring receital. It was awesome. The ballet students performed A Midsummer Night's Dream. And it was everything we could have hoped for our baby's first receital. It was wonderful and the costumes were adorable. Unfortunately as all of the parents felt, that we wanted more dancing from her. But she was so cute!!! It was hilarious that we had to put so much make-up on her, but in theatre that's what needs to be done. She looked very grown up. My mom kept teasing me and telling me to put her in some beauty pagents. I told her I probably end up one of those crazy stage mom's and I don't think we should subject Mia to that. Heehee!!

She had the biggest fan club to waiting for her during intermission. Uncle Hener, Aunty Raquel, Quelsy, Uncle Jojo, Aunty Tyrene, Grandma Lori, Kaimana, Aulani, Gev, Shawn, Megan and myself were waiting with lei's, ballons, flowers, crown's, wands. Thank-you so much everyone for your support and gifts for her. Special thanks to Aunty Karla, who sent a dozen roses for Mia, even though she couldn't be there. They were so beautiful. People must have wondered if it was a graduation or something. Heehee!! Next will be hip hop this summer and we're going to let her decide in the fall if she would like to continue ballet or hip hop. Maybe she'll do both.......
