Jocelyn's 1st Dance Recital

Yesterday, we had Jocelyn's first dance recital.  Derek and I were kind of nervous, because we recently found out from one of her teachers that she "hates" dance?!?  I think I figured it out though.  She is able to take dance at her school, and unfortunately, she is the only one from her classroom that takes dance.  So, every Tuesday when they come to get her, she has to leave her friends and that makes her upset. 

Today when I got to her school, her teacher informed me that she could NOT get Jocelyn to go get changed for the recital, that she would rather eat her snack back in the classroom. Grrr! 

I had to go bribe Jocelyn with a trip to Chic-a-nay (how she says it) in order for her to even put on her costume.  So, needless to say, we have been completely wasting $40 a month for the past several months...awesome!  We will not be continuing dance class up at school, but we will be continuing "Anastics" (as Jocelyn calls it).

She looks super happy in this picture :)  She made it up on stage, but literally didn't move the entire routine.  She just stood there and stared at the other girls.  She even got knocked over by one of the little girls that was trying to do the routine.  We laughed, but it was kind of ridiculous.

Still pissed off....

Check out her headband!  Haha!  I thought this was funny.

She participated in the group shot, but wasn't happy about it.

Yay!  She finally got her cookie, happy girl!  She looks so precious, but we definitely learned our lesson.  Too young for dance right now!  I am about 35 weeks in this picture and looking large and in charge!  Whew!
