Molly - Girl dancing her little heart out!
Practicing her Irish Jig!
Practicing her positions with friends!Molly had parent observation week at Irish Step Dancing this week and she did wonderfully. She danced with confidence and joy - something that Molly always struggles with. She is beautiful, sweet and talented in so many things but really tends to hide her face when showing off a skill. Yesterday she danced as if no one was watching (Isn't that a poem?) and had a blast doing it. Of course, I took enough video for a full length feature film but I won't make you all watch ALL of it - just select parts!
And now out come my Mommy claws in a completely unreasonable note - the girl next to Molly with the big hair and black leotard refused to stay in the line (Isn't that the first rule of ISD?) and so every video has her blocking Molly for half of the video. It took everything I had not to go over and physically place her back in her spot so that I could rest my eyes on my own gorgeous daughter. And on an even more petty note - she didn't know any of the step! WOW - what a bad mom - aren't I supposed to be teaching my kids tolerance?? I'll delete this section later!
This is Molly's song for her recital so act surprised when you see it in May. Once again, my girl knew every dance step and every word to the song. She is just amazing to me. We tried to convince her to play soccor or baseball this year - just to give her a chance to explore all sorts of activities - but she asked if instead she could take 2 Irish Step Dancing Classes!!! So dancing it is for now. I have to admit that I do enjoy her girlie choices for fun - not exactly sure where they came from but I love them none the less!

Where were the godparents during this observation week? Oh yeah. They were never TOLD about it. And don't try with the "only a certain amount of people can go" excuse. We are the godparents!
