A Star is Born

Lexie's Mini Movers dance class had a Halloween performance on the big stage at the mall.  We were nervous at first to let Lexie participate because she's not the most focused child in her class, but we thought, why not, Lexie loves dancing and whatever she does, it'll still be cute.  Right before we were about to leave home, Lexie told us, "I'm not going on the stage and I don't want to dance!"  And pretty much had a tantrum and didn't want to leave the house.  After much coaxing, we headed to the mall.

Once we got there and she put her costume on, her attitude changed.  When I dropped her off with her friends, she hugged me and was fine.

 As soon as she got on stage, she was waving to everyone.

During rehearsals, Lexie was not always following the choreography, but this time, she was very serious.  She was waiting for the music to start.  They danced to the Addams Family theme.

She wasn't always on cue, but she was tapping, dancing and jumping and having a great time  Her expressions were priceless.

And whenever she could, she would wave and smile.  Lexie knows how to work the crowd!

It's funny because the group started off in a line and somehow our little show stealer ended up front and center!  We were so proud of how well Lexie did!  We can't wait for her next show.

Thank you grandma and Uncle Les for coming to watch Lexie dance.

Lexie wants to be a dancer just like her cousin Taryn!

Thank you to Aunty Yvette and Uncle Brian for coming to Lexie's show and taking us out for a yummy dinner.

Lexie was happy that Nana came to watch her dance.  She hopes that Papa can come the next time!
