It is such special feeling that is inexpressible via words when I watch my Big C presenting her very first ballet performance before my eyes. Oh dear, my girl has turned into a pretty young lady, no longer a baby who needs to be cradled in my weak arms. I know there is a long way to go but I really really hope that I can freeze this moment forever, and enjoy the partially young pretty with partially baby-still moment, before she wings her way in seek of her glorious & exciting future. Tears began to well in my eyes for such touching scene, can't wait for her next performance, I thought.
I wish I had my PROPER camera with me to capture her biggest smile in her face on the concert day. HOW could I not have my camera? Simply because I was told we were not allowed to carry camera into the hall! I was given a chance to shoot during her full dress rehearsal day, BUT the moment is completely differences and irreplaceable.
I teared because I saw my baby putting up her 100% effort into her first performance, she remembered every single things that we told her - "NOT TO LOOK AT YOUR FRIENDS AT THE BACK", "GIVE YOUR BIG SMILE", "DON'T LOOK DOWN AT YOUR FEET", "LOOK AT THE AUDIENCES" - she achieved it marvelously with NO FLAWS (I dont' care, to me it's "flawless" - it's called the prerogative of a mother - LOL!).
Baby, your big smile on stage reflecting your utmost confidence, shining like a star! Baby, MaMa loves you very very much and looking forwards to many more great performances of yours. Well Done! Muakssss.
In fact, my little baby C was also excited while we were on our way to the concert. She actually thought she was taking part. Yeah, my bad! I thought she couldn't follow instruction and I did not register her for the performance. What an absurd thought I had! My baby C not just followed instruction perfectly, she could also perform. I felt so sad when she said to me : MaMa, Later, when Little C dance and finish, MaMa claps, ok? - Geez. You have no idea how my heart sunk rock bottom when I heard this BECAUSE I know she is not going to be on stage! She joined the practice in the class and she could do it together with Jie Jie at home. I am absolutely, positively, undoubtedly agree that she will be a star like her Jie Jie if she was given a chance on stage.
My Little Baby, you're already a shining star even when you are not on stage. MaMa loves your heaps! and can't wait for your very first performance on stage to experience another sensational moment. Muakssss....
