First Dance

The first Father Daughter Valentine Ball that my department put on was in 2008...I've been waiting since that day for Corey to take my baby to her first dance. Last weekend, I finally got what I've been waiting for. Corey took Nakiah to her very first dance. Nakiah picked her dress out all by herself. (its a size 7 and had to be adjusted by Auma, but she loved her "married dress" and didn't want any other) She picked the color of her corsage and Daddy even let her pick his tie.
Keith and Allyson joined in on the fun too!
Look how grown up and beautiful she is....Keith cleaned up nicely too. ;-) Nakiah was so attached to Allyson, she even had to follow her into the bathroom
Their first dance
She loved her flower so much, she was worried about it all night and kept telling me "thank you very much for my flower"
Twisting away
They were trying to get Nakiah to really shake it
I think she really liked watching everyone dance
Picture time
Keith had some great dance moves!!
Slow Dancing
Macarena time!!
Corey was trying to get Nakiah to follow everyone else...
...she got a bit lost
but she was loving every minute of it!!
I think this was the only break she let them have
except of course for sack time
Beautiful Allyson
For some reason, my daughter loves water fountains!
This was really a treat since I rarely let her use them.
She really knew how to shake her booty
She was so excited all night long!
Allyson was so great at helping Nakiah learn the moves
This quickly became Nakiah's favorite move of the night
She also loved the circle dance
She even got to dance with Keith
She really liked making wings for the Chicken dance
Apparently these Chickens dance on the floor
A dance just wouldn't be complete without YMCA
Last Dance...and a kiss goodnight

Nakiah was having so much fun that she didn't want to leave. Corey said she screamed in the parking lot when he put her in her seat. She kept asking for "more dance, please". Nakiah eventually passed out on the way to ice cream, so Corey turned around to bring her home. When Nakiah woke up in the drive way and realized she was at home, icecreamless, the tears started again. Corey had to run to the store to get icecream while Nakiah stayed at home with Auma and continued to ask for "more dance". She had a blast and kept asking to go to the dance again all weekend. It was a huge success and I can not wait for next year.

How cute! It looks like Nakiah had more fun than Sora this year, although maybe next year Sora will give her a run for her money :).
