Today was a first, I think. Alison, who I'm beginning to believe prides herself on not doing what anyone asks her to do, actually behaved at her dance class, well until just at the very end anyway. And her teacher was very impressed that she knew the whole routine for the number they are doing in the recital on Sunday. She has been working so hard on it here at home, so I'm glad that she was able to calm down and focus enough to show how hard she has been working. They have one more class, Thursday morning, and the dress rehearsal is Friday evening (at 5:30....what an awful time to be having dress rehearsal!!). I hope she can keep up the good work! If she can, then maybe the teacher won't be horrified to see her on the class roster for the next session, since we really want to sign her up for dance again. Now, if we could only get her to behave at Sunday School.....

Wow! She knows a dance routine and works on it at home! That's awesome. Ben is nowhere near being able to comprehend something like that. Girls mature so much faster than boys...it amazes me.

She's just so excited that she's going to be in a recital, and she doesn't even know what a recital is! The routine is not terribly complicated...there's a lot of repetition in it...but she loves to dance and has wanted to go and practice at least once a day, if not more. It helps that it's a short, peppy little song, too. :)
