Daddy/Daughter Dance

A few weeks ago, Ava and Daddy attended their first Daddy/Daughter dance. It was put on by the city of Acworth, and was held at North Cobb High School. Ava was very excited leading up to the dance, and she was always asking Daddy to practice dancing with her to make sure they knew how to dance when it came time. We both dressed in our finest that night and headed out (Much to the dismay of Renee, who was very sad she couldn't come along. We placated her by letting her pick out a dress and getting her picture taken with Daddy and Ava). At the dance, Ava headed straight for the dance floor. We definitely have a dancer on our hands. Several times, Daddy wanted to sit down and take a rest, but Ava wouldn't sit still for more then two minutes before saying, "Daddy, lets go dance". How could I resist? She did the twist, the electric slide, and had Daddy sliding her through his legs and lifting her in the air... she had a blast. She took her shoes off and slid around the dance floor with all the other girls without any hestitation or trepidation. She also was able to try a rootbeer float for the first time. She was a big fan of the rootbeer, but didn't want the ice cream (she said it tasted sour...?... so Daddy had to eat it for her :-). After all was said and done, Daddy had his tie off, sleeves rolled up, drenched in sweat... and Ava was one tired girl. And... she is already making plans for our next dance together.
