Hope and Mommy

Tonight I had the rare privilege to spend some one-on-one time with Hope.  I took her to see the HPA (Homeschool Performing Arts) Kids show - Cinderella!!  It was a perfect show to take it her to because it was  only 35 minutes long from start to finish.  The kids that performed were all between the ages of 8 and 12.  Hope loved the singing and the dancing.  She would bob her head and rock back and forth to the beat whenever the music would start.  After the clock struck midnight and Cinderella ran off the stage, down the stairs, and through a side door, Prince Charming was frantically asking people to help him find her.  Hope shouts (rather loudly), "She went over there!" (pointing to the side door).  She couldn't understand why in the world he didn't see that!!  Then a few minutes later, Cinderella was saying, "There's no hope . . . " and Hope loudly proclaims, "But I'm Hope!"  Such a sweetheart!!  I love that girl and the way she thinks. :)
At the end of the show, Hope was still looking for Cinderella (b/c Cinderella didn't have her "princess dress" back on again after she ran out the side door) and waiting for her to come through the side door.  It was so special for me to have that time with just her and to have some good Mommy/Daughter time.  We both really enjoyed it and had a great time together! :)

Hope wanted a pretty necklace just like Mommy :)
