Sunday June 7th the girls had a hula performance at the bandstand in Waialua. I was a bit nervous for them, since they hadn't had a practice for a few weeks. But they did great! The next week they had another performance for Waialua Association's 70th anniversary. We waited outside in the wind before it was time to go on, so I was so busy fussing with their hair that I didn't even notice that they still had their slippers on when they went on stage!!! (A big no-no)
Kumu (their teacher) noticed and said, "Slippers! Where's mommy?!?" So that led me up to front and center with Elysse to grab the slippers. That wouldn't have been so bad if Elysse wasn't in a shoe obsessive stage where she feels driven to return slippers to their rightful owner. So as the girls are performing, Elysse is squirming and screaming in my arms and reaching out to Kezia with her slippers in her hands. And then somehow she got loose and brought them right to Kezia's feet just as a dance was beginning! As they say here, "Auy we!"
