Joan and her friend, singing “Magic” by Selena Gomez.


Oh, you guys!  My little (BIG!) girl up there, not hesitant or shy AT ALL.  And the twirls (the girls’ idea)!  They kill me!  And the curtsy!  I get a little teary every time I watch it, thinking of all the times she’s hid behind me, buried her face into me, hiding from people SHE KNOWS.  And then, the very next minute, there she is, singing up on a stage in front of a couple hundred people.  Singing as if it were NO BIG THING.

Well, it IS a big thing to me.  I swear it you guys– watching my kids grow up is honestly the most magical, mind-blowing experience.
