Dance recital

Today was a big day in the MitMit household - Addie's first dance recital. It reminded me of when I took dance as a kid, except no costumes or make-up. Which if memory serves me correctly those "slutty" costumes for 4 year olds were why my mom pulled me out of dance. (There you have it mom - I'm sure you're excited to be blog content.) So all in all, no costumes...probably a good thing. Here were their dances - centered around the fitness theme:
Heart beat - jazz
Mommy's got a cold - ballet
Hmmmm not sure (MitMit editor's note - later review indicates song was likely Jammie Dance) - tap*
jumpin jack - no obvious style, unless jumping & jumping jacks are a specific genre.
*tap = on carpet, no tap shoes.

Compared to her peers, as an unbiased judge, I consider Addie's awesomeness even more noteworthy for what she did not do:
- stand in front row, hide head in hands, refuse to dance
- suck on two fingers while twirling hair. No dancing.
- reserve 1 hand for dancing, 1 for nose-picking.

Addie was great! Albeit that she was a little focused on staying on her pink
Spot. So proud on my preschooler. I'll attempt to add video later...stay tuned!
