Sophie and her friend, yes the one
she would later take the prop from.
There's that personality!
On Saturday, June 5, my daughter dazzled family and friends alike with her dancing. It was Sophie's first dance recital with Webby Dance Company and she did an awesome job! I know my description here won't do it justice because she did some things that you just HAD to see in person. Her first dance "Surfin' Safari" was so delightful and started off great. About halfway through, Sophie was hit on stage because the girl next to her would not move when they were supposed to. She took it as Sophie pushing her and reacted. As they say, the show must go on and Sophie just kept on dancing. It could have gotten pretty ugly up there, but Sophie had a goal in mind...MUST FINISH DANCE. Towards the end of the dance, the girls were supposed to grab a pair of oversized sunglasses, put them on and do their end pose. Well, Sophie was left scrambling for her prop and her only choice was to grab the only pair left on the opposite side of the stage...or so we thought. She casually walked up to the girl next to her, took them off her face and proceeded to finish the dance the only way she knew how...sunglasses on! Like I said...this girl had goals! It was quite hilarious and I am just glad that her friend and "dance partner" was as gracious as she was.
Her second routine was the gymnastics one to the tune of the old cartoon theme song "George of the Jungle". Again, some remarkable moves were enjoyed by all, especially Sophie's silly walks. The whole audience got a kick out of her and laughed at the entertainment she so willfully provided. I could not be any prouder of her at that moment. For those of you that don't know my daughter that well, Sophie marvels in the fact that she is one unique little girl with a personality as big as a mountain. For those of you that do know her, well this should not surprise you at all...she's just bein' the typical Sophie that we all know and love.
After her recital was over, she was showered with beautiful flowers from her Oma, auntie Gloria and me. Her nana gave her a ballerina princess Cinderella doll. We all went out to eat at Mimi's; it was a perfect ending to a most entertaining night. For now, we are done with recitals until July, hence the "1 down...2 to go" title of this particular blog. Up next? How about some boot scootin' fun and a romp with the king of the jungle? Can't wait!!!
