Addie's Dance Recital

I had been waiting for this day, for well lets see.... the minute I found out I was having a baby girl! I could hardly wait for Addie's first dance recital! I cried through the dress rehearsal. I was so proud of her, she looked so cute and knew her dance so well. The night of the performance came and she did just perfect. She even fixed her ballet shoe strings right in the middle of the dance! So classic! Miss Shelia doesn't want the strings sticking out, you know.. :)  Gavin was at State Baseball and missed it, but Grandpa Randy filled in getting her off the stage. Her tap dance was darling. I love my Baby Ballerina!

This year I have been able to watch Addie through the outside windows at dance . I have loved being able to see what she is doing unlike last year. When we were able to actually hear the music and see her dance at the same time, it made it so fun! Addie did great on her showoff day, she smiled and danced her little heart out. It made all of us smile, because of how happy she was. She loves dance, the tights are another story. They hurt and squish her, but we manage to get them on every week.  Miss Sheila is so cute with her baby ballerina's. Dance day is a highlight of Addie's week. Lots of fun!!

Addie the Ballerina

Addie has started Ballet/Tap at Westside this year.  She is loving it! There is only one hangup and that is the tights. Every week she has a little meltdown as we are putting on her tights. She hates them to say the least they hurt her toes, then they are all bunchy, then her toes hurt again... It is a nightmare! But as soon as she has the tights on properly she is really excited. She loves her teachers, her friends and dancing with the ribbon. She loves tap class too. She is learning her left from her right foot and having fun while doing it. There aren't many things cuter than a group of 3 year olds learning how to dance. So much fun! :)

Two Much Fun

Tuesday has become Addie's favorite day of the week. All I ever hear is "Mom, is it dance day? or "Is it dance day today?" or "Mom, when is it dance day?" Monday nights she goes right to bed very excited, because she knows when she wakes up it is dance day! She loves the baby doll dance, butterfly dance, teddy bear dance, well I now I think about it, I guess she loves them all! My favorite was the mop dance. It was to the song "It's the Hard Knock Life" from Annie. It was so cute! (We came right home and downloaded it, now she sings it all the time.)

It was fun to watch her do all the dances she talks about all the time. She grinned and danced so cute. I don't know who was smiling more, me or her! I couldn't have been prouder, she was a doll!

Then she sang to her daddy...

"I have a date...Yes I do..."

"He is tall & handsome, too"

"I have a date and Daddy it's you!"

 

 

 

 This class really was "Two much fun" just like its name.

Dancing Addie

It was such a joy to go and watch Addie dance on her showoff day! She was so excited we were there to watch. She danced her little heart out! Her favorite dance was when she danced with her baby, it was so cute. Heaven is where I was during the whole class, I loved every minute!
