School Dance

The other night, Maggie attended her first dance. I know, it may seem a little early for this, but St. Edwards school was having their annual family dance and since Jared is involved with the school, we all went as a family. As kids all ages raced around the dance floor, doing the limbo and jumping up and down to Lady Gaga and Michael Jackson's "Thriller," Maggie watched from the sidelines. Rarely have I ever seen her so transfixed. I'm not sure if it was the flashing lights, the loud beat of the music, or the kids laughing and dancing, but I am sure if Maggie was able to walk, she would have trotted herself over there and joined in the fun. I couldn't help but think that years down the road, we will be sending her off to her own school dances (yikes!) but for now, it was nice to just hold my baby as she watched from her spot on the sidelines.
