December7th was the Parks and Recreation Expo day. All the girls performed -- Elysse and Ivy in their ballet/jazz class and Kezia in tap dance and gymnastics. The girls did AWESOME!!!! In fact, each of them had an obstacle that they overcame for their performance, which made me extra-proud. Elysse had been complaining of a pain on her bum that felt like staph (again). We could not find any sign of it until the night before...and then we saw it was pretty far advanced. She still wanted to do her performance, and danced beautifully despite being very uncomfortable. I think her face here says it all.
We took her to the ER afterward to have it lanced (again). See other post (that is, if I happen to have the time to post it.)
Ivy's class continued to shrink as the date for the performance grew closer. Then, as you can see in the video, the third girl got stage fright at the last minute, but even so, Ivy and her friend danced wonderfully!
Kezia only attended tap dancing about 1/2 the time, so with that in mind, she did really well. I was most impressed when she got right back up after falling down and didn't skip a beat, as well as when she was surprised to see she didn't have a partner, but dealt with it like a pro. AWESOME! And then just a few days before, we learned that her gymnastics coach wanted her to perform, but since we didn't get the notice of the performance practice. We were lucky a friend of hers had clothes she could borrow.
Enjoy the videos!!
