I wasn't very sure this was going to go over too well. Thursday December 11th, Olivia had her first dress rehersal for her Christmas Dance recital. She had fallen asleep at Charie's and waking her up is always a mood killer. She cried all the way there. MOM, I don't want to dance.... I will dance tomorrow!! We get to the church and she just gets WORSE! On the floor throwing a GINORMOUS tantrum! Kicking AND screaming! It was such a lovely display! After I finally bribed her into a barbie doll, (that incidentally, she still hasn't asked for yet!) she decided she might as well get it over with because I wasn't giving up. She got through it and I gave a big sigh, until, I realized I had one more night to go! Oh dear me! What was I up against.
Friday night comes, and I tell her we can put Make-up on for her concert, and she is elated!!! WHEW.... that went over well. We get to the recital, and she RUNS into the dressing room and gives her teacher a HUGE hug and says she is ready to dance. WHO IS THIS CHILD? SERIOUSLY!!!!!
She danced so great! Adorable and beautiful!!! Below is one video of her dance. This was the better of the recordings, even though it is a little shakey. I had Isaac on my lap who just HAD to see in the camera as well, so Please forgive the motion sickness.

Olivia was the star of the evening. I loved seeing her dance and just smililng away up there on the stage.
I love her dancing! And I hate to tell you, I don't believe that your kids throw tantrums, they are angels.
