The Exnicious Page: so she had a bad day...

ellis had her first ballet recital on saturday. and my tiny dancer had a bad day. all of her grandparents came to watch...but she just wasn't her ballerina self :( it was partially my fault...i had her up late on friday @ music in the park...then she had a birthday party @ little gym from 1-3...and we had to be at the recital for 3:3o. i think she was a little overwhelmed by the crowd too. it was of course hilarious anyways. i mean, none of them are good. she started off pretty much ok...she and her friend riley are the first ones to "skip" out. although, hers is more like a shuffle. things are going smooth until the part where ellis is supposed to hold hands w/ one of the girls. she refused. would not hold her hand even for a second. i could never be a pageant mom...too stressful...i should have had a drink before...instead had a few right after. she did it right in class every week...and then decides during the real peformance she doesn't want to hold hands. and then she starts to get upset. i will post the video later today...it is really short...maybe a minute or two. after the recital, she got flowers, balloons, stuffed animals, etc for her OUTSTANDING performance. she knew she screwed up though...i told her the next day that there would be no more ballet (it is out for the summer...starts again in the fall) and she asked if she doesn't get to go back because she didn't hold the little girls hand :( so sad!!! i told her of course not!! she lives for ballet...when she wakes up everyday she asks if it is ballet day. it was fun...so much fun. we will be signing up again!! stacey's in kingwood is where she takes class...it is a great place.

the recital was @ kingwood high school!! go mustangs!
