Eva's concert went off without a hitch

[conuly]

And this despite the fact that she barely ate anything the whole day! I mean, I kept offering her food, but she insisted she wasn't hungry. I practically had to force her to eat half a bowl of white rice, and this kid LOVES plain white rice.

I guess it was nerves?

Yay, go Eva! I hope she pigged out after her performance, as is traditional.

Actually, no. Didn't eat at dinner either. We ended up getting her some veggie booty. And then my mom snarked at her for not eating real food. Which, I can see, but it was a combined concert and birthday and, you know, some days it's okay to be subpar.
