Well hello there!!! I know it has been along time since I
posted anything on my blog but I am going to continue to try to keep this
going. As I read back I forget details
on what had happened on our journey. For
this I am thankful that I have this blog to remind me. Let me fill you in on
the latest and then I will back track over the last 3 months to fill you in on
where we are in the process.
To bring in the New Year I decided to take my children to a
colonial dance here locally. We went
last year and the kids had a great time!!! They loved it! Last year we only had
3 kids with us and this year we have 6. My husband was on call with his work so he had
to stay at home just in case he had to go out on a service call. So I braved it by myself. I made sure the little girls had a nap around
4pm because we were staying out past midnight. Well all I can say is that the
kids had a blast and they danced and danced all night long. In fact they love it so much they want to join
the homeschooling dance lessons for colonial dancing.
Joshua surprised me.
He tends to be extremely shy and reserved. He would go up to these little girls and ask
them to dance with no prompting! WOW! There was a boldness there that took me
off guard. I was so happy to see him
come out of his shell and have so much fun.
My two little ones Little K and Little M walked in to the
dance area, saw the HUGE mirrors on the either side of the room and immediately
put their hands on their heads and started being ballerinas. They twirled and
was in their own little world for about 20 minutes. I managed to get a video of the very last of
it. If only you can see the beginning --
it was precious!! After they were done
with that, the instructor came up to Miss M and said "would you like to
dance?" Miss M shook her head "no" and immediately clung to me. He looked at Miss K and said "would you
like to dance?" and she said "yes" and very politely he took her
by the hand and led her out on the floor. He squatted down so he would be at her height.
Like a lady she danced the cutest dance. Sometimes she would throw him off
because she wanted to twirl and he wasn't ready but he made the adjustment and
she twirled and twirled around the dance floor.
By this time 30 minutes into the dance of course my phone was dead so I
didn't get any pictures of them except for my little video that I have on here.
After they were done --he came over and
he bowed at her and said "thank you for this dance" and she bowed at
him and said "thank you". Then
he decided to give Miss M one more chance.
"Would you like to dance?" and seeing the Little K was safe and had a great time she said "yes" and off they went to the
dance floor. He danced with the both of
them for another 3 times. From that time on every time a new song came on they
were getting pretty upset because he was dancing with other people and they
"WANTED" or let me rephrase that "DEMANDED" to dance. They are still working on being a ladies. So my boys and my big girls took the little girls
out on the dance floor and would dance with them through the night. The
instructor would appear at our table every now and then and would dance with
the little ones. Boy did they feel
special!! It was an evening to remember!!!
There is a story behind the dresses -- I will fill you in on that later.
