not because she was a great dancer... but because she was (lets say) "original"
So tonight was Halie's first Dance Recital. She has now been in dance for only 2 months but they still allowed her to perform... or at least stand on the stage!
Pretty much this is how it went:
I had stand to the side of the stage, Halie stood on the "star" closest to me, so that she could see me and still be on the stage. I was thrilled that she would even go out there by herself.... so we were doing good... she at least stood in her spot and stayed there while the other girls were dancing, Halie was looking at the lights, searching for Dad and Micah, tried at one point to follow along... and then after getting bored with the regular dance... she decided to add a little move of her own! HALIE DECIDED TO LAY ON THE FLOOR FLAT ON HER BACK AND POINT HER LEGS IN THE AIR ONE AT A TIME.... Yes while all the other girls are still doing the cute little dance... HALIE WAS smiling away and kicking her legs in the air while laying flat on her back.... Now this was a dance move in one of the dances, but not this particular dance. The crowd was laughing so hard! And I have to say I was too!.... So the second dance rolled around where they were suppose to lay on the floor and point their little feet in the air and of course she didn't do it then, instead she stood there and pulled her tutu up to her neck ... then down to her knees... then smiled and laughed.... IT WAS HILARIOUS!
Good thing she is so stinkin' cute!
I asked her teacher if she wanted to kick Halie out of the class and she keeps telling me that most kids at her age kick and scream and won't even go on the stage... so we are taking small steps!.... Here are a few pictures... hopefully they give you a good laugh! :)

she stole the show! I guess when they are the littlest one out there they can get away with it!
We have video of her wonderful performance so if you are ever at our house and want a good laugh ask us to whip it out!
And when I put Halie to bed tonight, I told her that she did such a good job not crying on the stage.... she then said, can we dance on the stage tomorrow too mom? I am so glad she loves it!
