Is Alex auditioning to be a disco queen? No, Alex celebrated her 9th birthday with a disco party at our home this past weekend. She invited 7 friends who would undoubtedly be on vacation this summer during her real bday (Aug. 9th), and we celebrated early.The kids were thrilled with the sparkly costumes and makeup, and they learned an entire dance routine in less than an hour. The parents showed up early to watch the kids perform, and they actually looked really good! Phoebe and Thijs even kept their positions!
Alex is already feeling the pressure that comes with age. She told her dance teacher she was 10, since at that age you're allowed to ask when you can go on "point" (use toe shoes). She also told a fellow dancer she was 10 since she didn't want to be the youngest in the class, where most of the kids are 10-13 years old. I told her she should be proud to lie outside of the mean. That's the goal of statistics, and it's what makes each of us unique. She just looked at me and then did another handstand.

I LOVE that handstand line..I can see it clear as a bell.
Girls look beautiful, and I'm so impressed with Alex's pose...Can't wait to see her dance someday.
Love!
their little bodies are just made for handstands, and they make it look effortless. It makes you feel young just watching them! They did look pretty sweet.
