Dancing (& singing) Queen

Laina had a busy week last week...which is so interesting since its my life's mission to NOT overschedule children, they get one musical and one athletic activity - and even then its too much! Anyway, she had a little singing performance at the Pioner Home, and a dance recital - her first dance recital. Matt and I went Saturday night (I was a stage mom on Friday night - which I thought was an awesome idea, until I was off-stage with Ella on one hip and McLaren grabbing one leg, except when he let go to see the dancers and dance along. But I was able to take a semi-closeup, with one hand :) Back to Matt and I...we went to the Saturday performance and I thought Matt was gonna lose it (I told him it gets better when its HIS daughter dancing and not random 12 year olds) - he had to determine how much Laina liked dance, so the first thing he asks her as we walk to the car was "Laina - would you say that dance is your favorite thing? " "Would you say you look forward to it more than anything in the world?" "Would you say that you want to dance forever and ever??" Her reply to every question was a resounding "yes". And with that, Matt's fate was sealed - I vote that he be stage mom next time.

Oh! and before I get the "doobie rag" comments...they're dwarfs, from Snow White's Night before Christmas.
