Dancing Lilly

Today was the dress rehearsal for Lilly's dance company. Since she's only 3 they don't have her attend the dress rehearsal but told us they'd be there from 11 a.m. until 11 p.m. if we wanted to bring her by to get up on stage to see what it's like.

Lilly was so excited when we walked in. It's actually in a high school but it doubles as the TD Bank Center for Performing Arts and it's gorgeous and BIG. When we walked in Lilly said, "This is a fwaightest!" Her teacher found us and was so excited to see her.

Lilly handed her a present we'd bought for her and then Miss Tiffany swooped her off to see the stage. They love Lilly so much; all the teachers were yelling, "Lilly! Hi!!! Come with us!!" It's because she cracks them up in class each week probably saying 'inafrofriate' things.

Lilly had her hands/fingers in her mouth at first (her sign of nerves) but once Miss Tiffany put her down on the stage she started dancing! It was really cute. And the greatest news of all - our seats are AWESOME! Remember Andy's guest blog? Well we're in the center section, 8th row back. I sat there while Lilly was on stage so she could see where we'd be.

After she came down from the stage she wanted to watch the performances. She was so cute and was mesmorized dancing in our row along with each routine. (My Flip doesn't pan back so I couldn't get Lilly's whole body in the screen since I was sitting right next to her.)

I will be taping her dances on Wednesday night so Thursday (hopefully) you'll see her dancing (and not running off the stage, crying, stripping, pushing...) and having a great time.

*And yes, I did have Ella with me though you'd never know because she's so freakin' good all the time. She was on my lap while I was videoing both of these clips. She was playing with my sunglasses. The music was so loud and it didn't even phase her. Top all of that off with the fact that she is so very sick. Poor little boo boo - I'll take a picture of her tomorrow. She has (Andy's) nasty cold and her eyes are red and watery and her nose is just oozing all the time.
