The Show That Didn't Go On...

Alyssa and I enjoyed taking a dance class together this year. Alyssa had a lot of fun in the class, and I did, too. Her class learned a short little dance to perform in the school's end of the year recital. Alyssa liked most of the class, but she never showed the greatest enthusiasm for the dance routine itself. At dress rehearsal she cried every time she got up on stage. Whenever I took her down from the stage, she said that she wanted to go back up and dance.


You can see her anxiety in this picture, poor girl. She had the biggest case of stage fright. Long story short, the actual day of the performance she was adamant about not wanting to go up on stage. So, we didn't even take her to the performance, but ended up spending the day as a family. Next year, I think we'll see if she likes gymnastics.


This was just such a sweet picture, Abigail looking up at her big sister.

Here is Alyssa just looking cute in her costume. At least we had fun together through the year!
