Well, today started off a little sketchy. Tootie couldn't wait to get her makeup and Tutu on. She even sat so still; I got some mascara on her. But since we had to get to the performance center 1hr 15 min early. The 3-5 yr olds got a little burned out just standing around backstage. At 3:15 they did there last practice dance and Tootie didn't want any part of it. She had a fit. Luckily, Eric texted me that he was there and forgot Soph's bottle. We traded places! Tootie will do anything for her Daddy. She and I tend to butt heads. Just wait until she's 13 or 14! Woooo! Anyway, she sat with her friends and encouraged all the other girls not to be scared. She even did her tondue passe which was too hard for her to do in class. My video is shaky at the end since I was also holding Soph so I missed her kurtzy. Bummer! Eric had camera problems backstage. I forgot to tell him how to shut off the flash without disturbing the shutter speed so some of the pics with movement came out really blurry. She did so awesome, especially for performing in front of 400 people! She is by far much braver than her mom ever was. She had a great crowd and Nene, Pop, Uncle Craig, Aunt Nic, Mamma, Gig, Mark, Staci, Morgan (and of course, Mom, Dad, J, and Soph) to cheer her on. She even got flowers from us, a carnation from Uncle Craig and Aunt Nic, cookies from Mamma, and treat bags from Nene. AND she got a trophy. In the finale dance she wouldn't stop dancing. It was a hoot. Such a fun time and you should have seen the tumblers, cheers, and partner stunts. I never had to be able to do stuff like that as a cheerleader and the 6 yr old cheer team was amazing!!
Here's some pics. The one with the Colts shirt is right before leaving. She was so excited and wanted me to hurry. Apparently, in dance world, you don't show your costume until show time.
