This past Friday, Madison participated in her first piano competition. We didn't know quite what to expect, but Eleanor, her piano teacher told her what to do. We arrived and signed in and then waited for her turn. When we walked in, we were amazed to see six judges. It was tremendous pressure. It was hard for Tyler and me to breathe. But she did so well; I was absolutely amazed. She played two songs from memorization. We then waited for her score.....and she received an Excellent. I can see how it is good for young children to learn to perform under pressure. After years of competition, she will have no problem playing for any kind of audience.
We bought her dress at Bridal Affair because I wanted her to feel important and beautiful. Adele, the owner was so wonderful to help us. We couldn't find anything very modest. This dress just had a spaghetti strap, but it did come with a scarf. Adele took that scarf and made a cap sleeve out of it right then and there. It took her probably 30 minutes. I am not used to customer service like that and I have to say....It was wonderful. So if you need a fancy dress, I recommend Bridal Affairs.

Good for her! I can't believe how much she is growing up. I love her dress, especially the blue, and want more pictures!
She looks so cute and grown up! I'm so proud of her to do competitions, those are scary. I'm sure she sounded great!
Way to go Madison that is awesome. Wow that would be nail biting as a mom to watch your child go through I think you deserve an excellent award too.=) Love the dress it's amazing!
