Dancing With Cinderella



Claire has been singing the Steven Curtis Chapman song "I'll Dance With Cinderella" lately. If you don't know the song, it is about a little girl who asks her dad to dance with her, and he takes the time to do it because he knows that she will grow up quickly and will leave home soon. The song took on a new (or maybe more intense) meaning when his 5 year old daughter died last year.
A few weeks ago Claire decided that she was going to dance with her Daddy when he got home from work. We all know how dirty Larry gets, so when he came in she told him that they are going to dance but he's going to have to get out of those yucky clothes. She proceeded to go and pick out some black dress pants (that didn't fit anymore.) Larry sent her back to the closet and they finally agreed on the tropical ensemble for him. She got herself dressed and the dancing began. The cd that was in the player had her recital music in it..."Sugar Plum Fairies" from "The Nutcracker." It was sweet, and a bit entertaining.

Aww, that is so sweet. Larry really is a great dad (don't tell him I said that!). =)

Oh, this was so sweet! I loved the pictures, too! Julie's kids have always loved dancing with their daddy, too (including the boys when they were younger.)
