Christina had her dress rehearsal for Sunday’s recital this afternoon. It’s so cool watching Christina grow into her dancing, especially knowing how much she loves it. It was a five-hour long rehearsal, which probably irritated many parents, but this is one of those mom things that I’m thrilled to get to do with Christina. Just…

Christina showed up at the dance studio for picture day but walked out as soon as she walked in, asking to go home. We missed her scheduled picture day because we were out of town for cheer, and when we got there today, she was surrounded by little girls in matching tutus and she felt…

Christina had another great day of competition today. “Let It Be” won first in the category, second in the level 1 small group category, and was one of only three teams in all of level 1 that received a nomination to go to the world championships in NYC in July. She was so excited, as…

Christina’s performances were both really good! Apparently one of her teammates was sick, so they had to perform without her. We never even noticed! The production dance was so entertaining – it really woke up a crowd that was falling asleep. We didn’t stay for awards because they were more than an hour behind schedule…

Christina had a dance performance at the Riverside Arts Market on a foggy Saturday morning. I loved getting to watch her. They look so great!

This year’s dance dress rehearsal was much more tolerable than last year’s, primarily because I had food in my belly and I knew it was going to take eons to get through. Christina was also in more of the dances, which made it more interesting to watch. Could be worse ways to spend a Wednesday…

It was a looooong day at dance competition. Seven hours and almost 100 dances – of which Christina was in two. Her dances won second and fourth place, as well as an overall excellence award. Really proud of her!

Christina’s first dance competition was a success! Her production dance got first place in their division, and her other two dances got third and fourth. Two of her pieces also scored platinum, which is the highest score you can get. I don’t actually know what her dances looked like because I was so focused on…

Dance recital is in the books. Christina looked great, and after seeing all of the other performances, I’m excited to see where she goes next season on the team. It went a lot faster today than Friday, and for this I am eternally grateful. Rosina and Dion came to watch too, and I’m also so…

We are more than four and a half hours into Christina’s dance recital dress rehearsal. I made the mistake of skipping lunch (and breakfast), so it has been approximately 26 hours since I last ate. I brought a book, but the house lights are down and I can’t see. I am bored and hungry and…
