When you have a big sister . . .

Buttercup loves to dance and dress up . . .

. . . so it's really no surprise that Theodore wants to dance and dress up, too. :-)

 

Buttercup's dance recital

Last week, Buttercup had her first dance recital! The girls performed a very cute tap routine and they all did SO well! It was so cute. I'm bummed that we weren't able to video the performance, but here are some cute pictures from before they went on stage!

Rehearsing

Theodore was so good during the performance. I thought he was going to be interested enough in it to keep still and quiet, but I wasn't sure! Thankfully though, he did great! The only problem was the 10 minutes or so that we had to wait for the performances to begin . . . and he also did not like it when the lights were turned off. :-)  But other than that, he did very well!

Patiently waiting for the show to start

Needless to say, Buttercup has the dancing bug now and has decided that she wants to continue to take dance classes. Yay for her! I'm glad she has found something that she loves to do! :-)

Dress rehearsal

Last night Buttercup had her dress rehearsal for her upcoming dance recital. The girls have been practicing since January and they all did very well!

One big part of the dress rehearsal is having the little girls practice on the stage with the stage lights on. Buttercup had gotten scared at a previous rehearsal, and I was afraid she would be too nervous to go on the dark stage and dance, but she did so well!!

Sadly, I forgot to bring my real camera, so all I have are these phone pictures. I also tried to take a video, but my phone just stopped working in the middle of recording! Anyway, here are some pics. :-)
