Ella had her Daddy/ Daughter dance this past weekend, an activity for her Daisy Troop.
She and Troy were all decked out and ready to Boogie Oogie Oogie!
Ella told him what jewelry to wear, picked out his sunglasses at the costume shop, and told him he needed to roll up his sleeves, so his gold bracelet would show.
She's already his personal fashion consultant... wonder where she gets that???
Ella made her theatrical debut last night in the Prairie Center Elementary 1st grade musical "NUTS."
They were adorable and really practiced hard. Just look at the first first song of the night, "The Circle of Life." They had so much fun! (I had to link through YouTube, because the files are just too large for the blog!
This show had a fox, a bear, a raccoon, a chicken, a duck, dozens of nuts, rain, clouds, a tree, and the sun... guess where Ella landed? Yep, our little sunshine was the sun! That's why she look so bright mixed in with all the other wildlife on stage.
Most of the kids had one line in the show... Here is Ella's line from Troy's cell phone:
And her song, just check out our little Vanna White!!! I was so proud, and look at those strong arms! (I guess the acro class is paying off)
The music teacher made her prop, but she asked if we could bring it home and "glam it up," which we did. Throw on some gold glitter glue and a few leftover rhinestones from her dance costume.. and voila! the sun shines!!!
I was so proud of her, really of all of them. This was a fun show! Max was mesmerized through the whole thing and gave people dirty looks when they clapped like "hey, my sister and her friends are doing something, hush up!" Alex laughed at every single joke, so loudly, that people around us were laughing at him.! It was preschool humor at it's best I guess... but we all had a great time!
My last post about Alex was so sad... that I just had to update. It was Mommy Day at his preschool yesterday and we had such a good time together!
It was great for me to see how he interacts in his classroom, plays with his buddies, and where he has trouble transitioning. Right now we're on the fence with kindergarten. I have registered him for another year of preschool and we are skipping kindergarten round-up... but there is still a slim chance that we'll decide he's ready. We're just watching to see how these next few months pan out for him. It was nice to see that some of the things I worry so much about... must be pretty typical, because I saw it in other kids too.
It was so much fun to see how he's made friends and how he plays with them and has this little life all his own. He's not my baby anymore, he's a big boy.
Some days, he's very independent. He wanted me to drop him at the curb, but we've settled for Mommy walking him inside for kisses, and then he walks to class on his own. (I hide by the office to make sure he's okay, and once in awhile I catch him looking back for me... It's amazing how this boy is changing right before my eyes!)
Most of all, it was great just to spend the time with him. Have him show me what he's learning and what he can do.... and lots of hugs and "I love you Mommy." Sometimes, I really miss those days when it was just Me and Alex at home together, snuggling, running errands, playing, etc... It ended abruptly when Max came so early and our time was cut short. This was another one of those days. Just me and my rock star...
