xander got to meet his baseball hero chipper jones of the atlanta braves
amazing...i have to get him to tell me about it in his own words so i can write it down.
a friend from his baseball team(s), little babe and his dad emailed us last night to ask us about it. turns out it was going to overlap the same time as cassidy's first dance performance, but i let xander make his own decision. he had cassidy need to support each other in their activities, but this was an opportunity that wouldn't come around again, at least not any time soon. so he and todd both went. they had an incredible experience and still made it in time to see cassidy dance.
and cassidy, my little skating ballerina, performed in her first performance. it was for the city of buford' holiday celebration. our arrival time was 1:00, the performance time was supposed to be 1:45, but we didn't go on until after 2:00. if she survived this one and wants to keep dancing, then she has dedication! it was FREEZING! and if we had been in massachusetts we still would have said it was FREEZING! cause it really was. definitely in the 30's. and my little baby danced. we kept her bundled up in her sweat pants and heavy jacket until it was time to go on.
george vidoed and todd took pictures. and she was SO CUTE. only one little hiccup...some of the other moms brought the costume skirts home to finish sewing, but not all of them made it to the performance. cassidy didn't have a white skirt with turquoise trim like the other girls. so ms. victoria took a skirt from one of the smaller older girls, a silver one, and told cassidy she was the STAR.
i've been talking her through it for the last few days, going through the arm movements and reminding her when it was her turn to run to the front of the stage. and she did...she watched the older girls and started the arm movements.
when it was time to come to the front of the stage she ran all the way up front, farther up front than anyone else. she got a good chuckle from the crowd.
i still can't believe how cold it was, and that she got out there and did it. so proud baby ballerina!
this is her pose at the end of her performance and this is her at the end of the show, sans skirt!
