Back in the Saddle

After Wednesday's disastrous recital, it was very important to Mike and Traci to get Katie right back to the dance class setting that she had previously loved. We didn't want her to give up something so special just because of one bad experience. Thankfully, the kid rebounded and happily went back with her usual gusto. Traci talked to Katie's teacher, Miss Monica (pictured), after class for today's scoop. According to Monica, Katie was her old self: laughing, joking with her classmates, and leading the charge on many of the dance exercises. That's our girl! So, we had to take the picture today that we wished we would have gotten a couple of days ago. Enjoy!

Oh, and in a funny, related story that demonstrates the relative maturity levels of mother and daughter: Each week after dance class, the studio hosts an Open Gym where the kids can play on all of their climbing equipment, slides, etc. This week, since Michael was happily napping in his stroller, Traci decided to join all of the little ballerinas in a game of chase/tag. Well, all except one....Katie - the daughter of the crazy woman chasing all of the little girls - was off chatting with the mommies. She did not want to be disturbed by her mom's antics. What is wrong with this picture?

Hey Traci, Runs in the family. When Steph, now 18, had her first recital she just stood there and so her Dad, Karl, told her she did the best statue dance he ever witnessed. LOL's
