A Fairy Tale Evening

Tuesday evening Joey and Cassidy shared their first ever Daddy/Daughter Date Night. Joey took her to see the high school's production of "Cinderella." The evening was unforgettable for them both. Cassidy floated into the house after the show and spent the next 20 minutes squealing, giggling, and hugging us, eyes sparkling, face glowing, as she told us all about the show and meeting the cast. Joey snuck backstage after the show so that Cassidy could meet some of the characters. Cinderella and Prince Charming had already taken off their costumes, but when they heard Cassidy wanted to meet them, they put their entire costume back on and spent time talking with her and taking pictures with her. She said it was "the BEST night ever!" I cannot thank the students enough for taking the time to talk with her and for being so kind to her!

Getting ready to go...Lily was more than a little ticked when she realized she was being left behind! :)

Snacking on graham crackers in the theater

Apparently Cassidy spent a good portion of intermission sticking out her tongue and then cracking up at herself! :)

Cassidy was a little shy when she first met Prince Charming (who is actually one of Joey's tennis players). She told everyone, "No, my Daddy is Prince Charming!"

She finally warmed up to him...and I think she has her first crush. When I asked about him, she blushed and wouldn't talk about meeting him!

She had no problem, however, talking to Cinderella! Here's how the beginning of their conversation went:

Cassidy: Oh, you have a beautiful blue dress!

Cinderella: Thank you. You have a beautiful blue dress, too!

Cassidy: I KNOW!!!

Cassidy told me, "I love Cinderella. She is so beautiful and nice!"

What an unforgettable evening!

Fairy Godmother: They're magic!
