See You Later Alligator


Little Laura had her dancing debut today! Though not quite ready at full recital standards, her little dance class was invited to perform at the Ridgeview Health Fair held at our community center today. They took this opportunity as a dress rehearsal of sorts. What a great idea to get the stage fright out before the actual show.

Laura stated that she was a little nervous, but she was excited too. Never having actually performed in a dance setting before, she did remarkably well! They were all so cute in their fancy costumes, and all those little girls appeared to enjoy feeling so special in their sparkly get-ups.

We all watched enthusiastically as each group performed. From the tiniest little 4 year olds, to the award winning teens. Laura was placed in a position opposite her usual spot in the routine, and did her best to find the right places to be when necessary. She did not appear to be flustered or shy....she just did what she could in the situation dealt her. Being typically a shy girl in unfamiliar settings such as this, she did fabulously. I was quite proud of her! I think it also helped that she had quite a cheering section filled with a few siblings, as well as Grandma ? and Lyle. Looking forward to the official recital in May!
