Keely Shines Again!

Keely started her 4th year of dance last week. I got a call today from her studio telling me that even though she had missed tryouts (yes, mom of the year strikes again) that her new teacher was so impressed with her last week that they wanted to invite her to join competition without trying out!! Now this is exciting for 4 reasons:

1. Keely has been begging me and begging me to be on competition and is soooo excited


2. She's a little sick of ballet lately, and her team dances jazz (which she is just old enough to take for the first time this year) and tap


3. She gets way more trophies and metals, which light up her life like a fireworks show


4. I get to go with her, and as mom and amber know, I love dance competitions!! all the makeup, curly hair, amazing dances...it's just so intoxicatingly girly I can't enough...I'm happy to have this new little time with just me and Keely - My memories with amber at competitions are nothing but fond - Iwas filled with soo much pride watching her that I'm sure it will be the same with my little girl : )

Oh Keely, your aunt Amber is sooo proud!!! I can't believe she's been dancing for four years! That's crazy. Good for her for getting on the competition team. When did our girls get so old???
