Dance Recital

Here are pictures from tonight's dance recital. Makenneh wanted on stage before the show started, so bad. Then she was a bit unsure as all the lights went out just before it started. But, overall, she was very well behaved and I am very proud of her. She sat pretty quiet (did much better than the kid behind us who was about 7-8) and when the show was done, she wanted to go with Ariel and Kaitlyn...so Tiffney took her with them to Applebee's. While there, I guess she fell and got a bloody nose. Tiffney's dad scooped her up and got her napkins and whatnot. She didn't want to get out of the van when they got here, so i had to go out and carry her in. She was fine by then though. She only got a little blood on her shirt and a little on Tiffney's. But Tiff said he bled pretty good at first. Now, she is playing with paper and a crayon..she has managed to use over 40 sheets of paper/cardstock! She would draw a circle or a person on one sheet and move to the next. So, i had her go back and draw on the backs of a few..then i started writing the alphabet and numbers (which is how i know how many sheets she used...lol). She is now folding them in half, taping them and laying them on our bed, next to daddy. Won't he be just so delighted. Actually, i will have to deal with them first, when i go to crawl into bed.

She did surprise me. I would write a number on a piece of the paper, then draw that many "apples". She took the crayon and drew apples too and they looked just like mine. Then she drew something else and said, a banana, mom! Sure enough..it looked quite a bit like a banana. My little artist!
