CC had her first ballet this weekend, Sleeping Beauty. She debuted as a deer! During rehearsal and the actual ballet, I had to drop her off at the door and wasn't allowed to go backstage or see her until after the show. So the first time we saw her costume was on stage during the actual show. She did great and loved every second of it! She was in two shows, so it took up the majority of our weekend which put her in a little bit of a cranky mood on Sunday:)
We watched a you tube video on how to do the perfect ballet bun. CC said that they teachers commented on well done her bun was, and she said, 'yeah, I told them my mama had to watch a video on the computer on how to do it"- I'm sure they were laughing at me, or really happy that I did it correctly:0
She was so proud of herself when it was over. I think she felt like a big girl! Look at that face
This is the only picture I have of her as a deer, which I took illegally and got in trouble.
They said they have professional pictures of them during the show that will be available later, so hopefully I'll have a better picture of her in her costume.
Emory was really good during the 2 1/2 hour show. At the beginning, she asked ( about 50 times), "Where's Sissy?", and towards the end would yell out "is it time to go bye-bye" every time people would clap at the end of a scene.
she was proud of her sissy too!
Gran and PawPaw came up to watch CC. they were proud too!!!
CC loved being in the ballet and has made her her mind that she wants to do point (or dance on your toes). She loved watching all the point ballet dancers and is serious about wanting to do it. From what a few moms said, she will have to be closer to 11 years old- once your ankles are strong enough and your feet are finished growing. Who knows?!
Emory slowly started getting sick as the day went on on Saturday. She woke up Sunday not feeling well and had a fever of 102 for most of the day. Bryan went to the doctor on Friday and ended up with an upper respiratory infection. He got a steroid shot that made him feel better but as the day went on on Sunday, he started feeling worse. Then when we got home from the ballet, CC took a nap and woke up not feeling well. Everyone woke up sick this morning, including me. So Bryan, Emory, and CC stayed home to get better. The girls went to the doctor- ear infections and red throats....no blood work or strep test, but they did get antibiotics that should help whatever they have. The girls seem to be a little better, but Bryan is still worse than he was before he went to the doctor.
Hopefully, everyone will be on the mend soon:):) and glad it happened AFTER the deer debut!
