Daddy Dancing

Sydney has a dance recital next weekend (Father’s Day weekend, thank you), which is of course very exciting. She is in four parts for this one, including two – count them – TWO solos. She is almost 8, and very talented and an incredible genius and gorgeous.

To do my part for the recital I have agreed to actually dance. A bunch of the Dads get together, and Miss Andrea choreographs and teaches us a routine. This one is to the song “It’s Raining Men”. We’ve been practicing, and have 3 more rehersals before the big shows – plural. Next Friday night, Saturday around noon, then Saturday night. It is MUCH harder than I thought it would be, which makes me appreciate that much more how hard my girl is working. So impressive at eight. The White House hardly even sounds like a challenge for her anymore.

Will post the most embarassing of the pictures when they are available.

UPDATE: Shows went great, danced in front of 1500 people. Was positively blown away by my daughter, who was not only fantastic in terms of dancing skill, but roughly 10,000% calmer than I was. Man do I love her. 🙂
