Saturday mornings have become special daddy/daughter time. I need some uninterrupted time to freelance, so Dave and Katelyn go to breakfast and then to...wherever the mood hits them. Lately they've been going to PetSmart to look at the animals, which is cute and all until they almost came home with a turtle. Haha, no. They also go to Academy, where there is a small putting green set up and Katelyn likes to "play golf." I love this sweet time and hope it continues for years.
We've played with play dough a lot lately. I'm not sure who enjoys it more, me or Katelyn!
Katelyn's school had their Christmas program/mini dance recital. Katelyn LOVES school and dance and was very excited about this.
See? Proof that she was all smiles with Grandad before the performance.
Minutes later… well, let's just say it did not go well.
Yep, we were the parents of the single child who wailed during the entire performance. In Katelyn's defense, the entire program was extremely unorganized and loud. And while she is NOT shy, she does like to thoroughly analyze new surroundings before she is completely comfortable. There was too much going on and it was just too chaotic. Also, she's 2 1/2 years old. Young and unpredictable. She didn't want to sing her favorite songs with her class. Didn't want to dance. I felt bad for her… but at the same time, it was also really funny. Does that make me a bad parent?
After her class finished singing their songs… still a little teary-eyed and contemplating what to do next.
She still didn't dance, but she wasn't screaming, so I'm calling it a win. Thanks for taking one for the team, Grandmom!
All smiles again when it was all over. As soon as we got home, she sang the songs perfectly and danced for us. Of course. And the next day she asked when it was time to go back to dance class.
Stay tuned for an upcoming blog about the holidays. Happy New Year, everyone!
