You guys, I didn't realize how excited I would get for a daddy-daughter dance until we got the notice from school a few months ago that it was happening. If anything, I might have even wrinkled my nose in confusion at the concept of a daddy-daughter dance prior to this... but then we got the save-the-date for the event and I was all of a sudden so excited FOR Sloane and Ken. And I get now why it's special: we always try to take our girls out on individual dates so that we can have one-on-one time with each of them, and this was just another version of that. Also, as a daughter of a wonderful dad, I know that the way my dad treated me set my own expectations and the high standard of how I was to be treated with respect and love by my future husband, so I can see that this sort of dovetails into that. Also, I want to note that this was the first year that the school had a daddy-daughter dance, and they are working on having a mommy-son dance next year as well, because hey sons need to learn how to be treated with respect and love too!
Anyways! here are some photos that I snapped of that night as Sloane got ready. Logan was in a cranky mood that evening (maybe because Sloane got to go off with Ken?) but as soon as Sloane and Ken left, I took Logan on our own little special date and her mood was much improved. :)
I offered to do her nails for her, but she wanted to do them herself!
These darlings.
She wore the "high-up" shoes that Ms. Mignon got for her from Japan!
Behind the scenes: Yup, this was how Logan was the whole time while they were trying to leave. I was only able to snap a few quick photos of Ken and Logan because Mignon was there to hold her.
My big girl with her dance ticket! They had a great time. I'm so proud of both of them.
I kept smiling looking at Sloane's dress and her lipstick!
ReplyDeleteWarm and beautiful photos.
I wonder if you have the photos of dancing at school.
