Hi Jo, Sounds like you and D4 are having fun. I loved it when my D was in dance. They had a recital every year with glittery costumes, makeup and such. Once she found softball, basketball, volleyball, etc. though, she decided to be a jock instead.
Sometimes I miss having a "little" girl, but we have such fun together now that she's in college and no longer lives with me. Plus....she has a really cute and very sweet boyfriend. He went to the beach with us a couple of weeks ago and when he took his shirt off, my jaw nearly fell onto the sand!!!!
Enjoy these times with your D4. They're priceless!!!!
