Thursday-solo and ice cream

Thursday morning, Brett played golf with the other dads and the kids and I went to the pool and beach. Emalyn had a huge poop in the pool, not fun in the least. I left the pool early to put Emalyn down for a nap and left the kids with another dance family. While I was gone, Maddi picked up a jelly fish! Apparently they were talking to one of the guys who was out surfing and he told them about the jelly fish with brown on them and that they don't sting. The other mom saw Maddi reaching out to pick up the jelly fish and she started running over as fast as she could. She didn't want Maddi getting stung on her watch. That girl is so fearful yet has no fear at the same time.
Later that afternoon, Maddi had her solo. I woke up Emma from her nap so we could get there on time. Once we got there, the bigger girls were dancing, so we watched them. Then they had awards and the teachers really ticked us off. Instead of getting Maddi ready, they stayed for the big girl awards and Maddi's solo time came and went. Maddi was really upset and I was upset and Emalyn was fussing and Cade was complaining and it was awesome. Not. The only good thing is that Brett was running late getting back from golf and since she did her solo later, it gave him plenty of time to get there to watch her. Here she is finally getting her hair and makeup done for her solo.

Maddi was finally going back stage to dance. About an hour and a half after her scheduled time.

Off stage and waiting for her music.

At awards. I took most of these pictures from Emily's mom on facebook :) She did well on her solo but didn't score as well as she wanted.

This was her last picture taken in this solo costume. Yeah!

We went to celebrate Maddi and her solo by getting ice cream. Emalyn will sometimes drink some milk shake but other than that, she doesn't ever want to taste ice cream. Tonight she finally tried it and she liked it! She started with licks of everybodys and ended up taking Brett's cone from him and she never gave it back to him!



Poor daddy only ate about half of his ice cream before Miss Thing claimed it as hers.
