she'll be our girl for all seasons

I signed Macy up for dancing lessons last August thinking that she'd just love it. The girl loves dress up so I thought she'd be all over it. Soon going became a weekly battle because she didn't want to wear the tights because you know, they were tight. And itchy. I get that ~ I haven't worn hose in the past decade. And she said she gets sweaty at dancing.

Macy would tell me that she was "boring" of dancing. There is alot of waiting and watching others which isn't how Macy rolls. We finished out the year and then it was time for the dance recital. The theme was the different seasons.

Think Grease 2 ~ now for a flashback.

Macy was "winter" ~ a snowflake to be exact. I had envisioned a tutu and tiara kinda like the one Lauryn had ~ not something that looked like a Rockette. But the Christian dance school stuck to it's non-hoochie mama guidelines for costumes. You better believe that was criteria

asked about when I was choosing a dance studio. But really...a snowflake, in early June, in Texas??

The girl is nothing if not covered from head to toe.

Anyhoo...the show started at 7 and didn't end until 9:20. I wish I would've had a sucker to pacify me!

There was to be no photography or video cameras allowed for the performance! They wanted you to buy the $35 video instead. But I snuck into the rehearsal and recorded the 2nd half her dance on my camera. I'm sneaky like that.

The 1st part was a repeat of what you saw. Did you see any ballet moves at all??

Me neither.

Then at the end all of the kids came out to take a bow. Macy's class was up 1st since they were the youngest. She's the tall one towards the middle. I did take about my camera then b/c what's going to happen to me at that point ~ I hadn't seen any camera police around. And good thing I did b/c this next part was the best part of the night.

Apparently Macy loved the limelight...She stayed there for what seemed like a long time. It was adorable. Everyone in the audience was cracking up ~ she stole the show!
