As if things hadn't been busy enough, we had the Big Kids' Dance Recital on Saturday evening. After getting soaked at her school's field day on Friday and running around in wet socks and shoes for the better part of an hour, Lainey developed a pretty serious blister (we weren't actually sure what it was until Monday)...a huge one...at the base of her big toe near the ball of her foot. :( And of course it decided to become super painful during the studio's dress rehearsal on Saturday...before the big show Saturday night. Lainey was in tears from the pain. To point her foot and go on relevé just about sent her over the edge. At the time, we didn't know if it was a deep bruise or if it was just a blister trying to form. We now know that it was a blister..and I'm SO thankful for that! I wasn't ready to deal with a foot injury! Despite the pain, Lainey performed beautifully and we are so proud of her! She danced in 10 dances and handled them like a pro - and did the best she could despite the pain.
