Dear Maggie,
You are so brave! One of our neighbors bought a ticket to a dance camp for her granddaughter but she wasn't able to use it. So she gave it to us. I took you to buy a pair of ballet slippers. I never thought I could be a dance mom until I watched the smile on your face as the lady at the store slipped them on your feet. You were in heaven. And then I took you to the dance studio. Where you have never been. Where you knew no one. And then I left you there for three hours. It was so hard for me! In fact, I asked your daddy to go by and check on you to make sure you were doing okay. He sent me a message that you were dancing your day away. It was all I could do to pass the time until I could go back and get you. And I have to tell you that Max wasn't any better. I thought that he would love the time to get a little more attention with you gone. But instead he spent the time making things for you and asking when you would be home. With plenty of time to spare we got in the car and went back to get you. And we got there in time to watch you dancing the day away, with a big smile on your face. When it was done you ran to great me and told me about the new friend you made. I asked what her name was but you didn't know. Dear Maggie, you are a beauty! I was never as brave as you. It is a mixed emotion for a mom to have a child separate so easily. But mostly it makes me very happy for you that you can embrace new situations so easily and eagerly. Because of this you will have many great adventures and experiences. If you choose dance I will support you. If you choose something else I will support you. I just hope that whatever you do, in all of your life, you do as bravely and fully as you did your first dance experience.
I love you baby girl!!!
Love,
Mama
