Ease away Sister

This weekend we had Hadley's Dance Recital. Her BellBell, Grannie Sue and Aunt Mary came to watch, which made for one delighted little girl. After seeing Hadley practice last week, we had serious doubts that she was going to do anything other than her own thing when she got out there. She did more than she did in practice, but the little kids are so funny, those little attention spans just don't last for more than a few seconds.

They did their ballet routine to the song Somewhere Out There. There was about 20 seconds when the first came out, that Hadley just stood there with her arms stretched out, she was in a daze. The little girl to her right touched her arm, like get it together sister. Hadley gave the little girl a look that made it clear, she did not appreciate being touched. Aunt Mary said she had clearly inherited the "Harper Glare". She did finally get it together and participate in the rest of the performance.

Next came their tap routine, which was done to Ease on Down the Road and they were dressed as little Dorothy's. Hadley seemed to get into this routine a little more. I liked that for this routine they had one of their teachers dressed like a BIG Dorothy and out in front of them dancing. It seemed to keep the girls a little more focused.

Time for the FINALE, look what my Daddy got me!!
