Little Dancing Diva!!

If there is one thing our sweet little Mara loves it's dancing!! She dances all day long! I love to watch Mara dance! Many times during the day she will turn on the radio and make up a dance to a song. Then she will have 'a recital' and invite whoever is home to watch her dance! She even choreographs her own production! She is so stinkin cute!!

A few weeks ago she had her first dance recital. Looking at this cute face you wouldn't know that she had to stay home from preschool because she was sick! We pumped her full of Tylenol fancied her up and off she went!

Here is her cute dance class!

I must admit I was very sceptical on whether Mara would perform or not! I didn't think she would actually do it! I thought at the last minute she would get shy and chicken out!!

But Mama thought wrong! She did it! Mara Lew performed her dance perfectly!! It was so fun watching her dance! She danced at the Senior Citizen center and performed a teddy bear dance!

Mara actually had two performances in one week! Her second performance was the half time show for the CEU basketball game! Before the game started she met with the other dancers to warm up and play games. The older dancers helped the younger dancers! She loved being with all the girls! It was really cute to watch her from the side. I can't believe how grown up she seems!

I again was hesitant on whether or not she would perform this time but again she was outstanding!

Mara always sticks out her tongue when she dances! I tried telling her to keep her tongue in her mouth and put her smile on her face but when she concentrates on something (like dancing, coloring, writing...) she sticks out her tongue! [It's actually a quirky genetic thing! I do it...my kids do it...my brothers do it...my uncles do it!! Seems to run in the family!]

That's better! No tongue all smiles!

Mara is the cute dancer on the half court line! She sure did a great job learning and performing her dance!
