Life is full of firsts.......some good some not so....
Like your little girl dancing in her first real competition.....and all that goes with it...
Not just dancing for fun, or because it is the end of the year concert for the parents or because it is required for her chosen school course.....
Real live competition....
I thing WE did OK.......
I even was called on to be the mum that knew how to sew and ran some running repairs.....
We did fail on the expensive false eyelashes that didn't stick any more after I GOT IT WRONG too many times...
We did OK , we even had some fun ....
How is it that my little girl is growing up and was able to shine and dance with passion and conviction.....
I think it was a learning thing for both of us....
Oh yeah her and her dancing pals..placed second......I knew they were good ....this mumma didn't need a medal to prove it.
Oh I think I did well...considering I grew up playing sport ......
I think I can do this dance mum thing.
Well done to the little dancers and to Mum too! I always mess up the eyelashes...now I make my oldest one do them for the youngest!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and saying 'Hi' on my blog, Lovely to read about your life and family adventures. Look forward to reading more of your stories, cheers, Lil
ReplyDeleteWe had our first dance competition too this school holidays. I wasn't sure what I thought about the whole thing, but in the end it was OK and my middle enjoyed it. She's already talking about competing next year. Sounds like you and yours did OK too:) Cyndy
ReplyDeleteI remember my mum being up all hours of the day and night sewing sequins on costumes for me and my sister for calisthenics! The things we do for our children!
ReplyDeleteSounds nerve wrecking. Glad you had some fun. Congratulations to your daughter on placing second with her team. Wonderful.
