Abby's 1st Dance Recital

After learning tap and ballet all year long, Abby was so excited for recital week. She had 3 rehearsals and then came the day for the recital. Abby always wakes up between 7:45 and 8:30. When she didn't wake up by 8:45, I went and woke her up. She was very tired, but we got her up to get ready for Sunday School. She came downstairs and did nothing but lay on the couch, which is very unusual for Abby. I decided we had better stay home from Sunday school and see what was going on, and after already taking a nap in the little bit of time she was awake, I went over to check on her. As soon as I touched her I knew. She was hot and had a fever of 101. At least it wasn't nerves, which I didn't think it would be because she just absolutely loves to dance around and even does it outside in the driveway. We gave her pepto-bismol and Motrin for the fever and 5 minutes later she threw up. I guess she decided to get the flu on the worst day of the year. The Motrin got her fever down enough for her to still go to the recital and dance, but as you can see in the pictures, she was definitely sick. She wouldn't miss this day for anything :)
