Another weekend, another dance competition. LOVE them! The sun, the pipes, the dancing and this time even sheep (much to Elspeth’s delight). Then throw in some dance friends and a picnic lunch and it makes for an enjoyable day.
Katrine danced well today. As a result, she took home a first, second, third and the trophy for her group. If you look closely at the photo of her with her trophy you will notice that it looks like she is in tears. Well, she is. If we go to another comptetion this summer, it will likely be her last as a Beginner. The next time she will have moved up to the next level and the thought of moving scares her. Why? Because she is scared that she is not good enough to win a trophy there. Made for an interesting heart to heart talk tonight at bed time about how winning is not the be-all end-all but merely the icing on the cake. The real prize is in trying your best and doing a good job. Did it sink in? Who knows, it is not like this is the first version of this conversation that we have had. We were proud of her though because she actually danced well today.
Elspeth? Well, as you can see she made a new friend and they played iphone together. Later she broke out the stickers. 🙂
And now what you have all been dying to see…my hair. It did not turn out as pink as I had hoped but here it is in it’s new pinkness. I know, out of character for me but it is only semi-permanent and I just wanted to do something fun that was only for me.
