on a lighter note...
The dance demonstration went fine. There was a moment at the end of our routines that we were bailing and they didn't have the intermission that they had planned. Instead the director (she has been mentioned in the blog before see if you can find her.) came out and started talking. Lights still down. Saving grace is we were in the back. But as per usual i'm ahead of my own feet.
The recital (or dance demonstration) started off with a minor incident where we had to buy me a ticket because I was too stupid to bring my own ticket. Luckily we got a spare from another person in the class who had a grand parent or some such bail on them.
The recital (sorry dance demonstration to be known henceforth as DD) The DD itself went great. Max's personality shined through as he tapped and then on his way out he gave the crowd a little wave. Very nice.
With Sam you could tell where Tammy was she was off stage to one side and sam stole a glance now and again. They are so (i hate this word) cute, yet the skill is amazing to me who figuratively has two left feet. If I had them literally I would need special shoes. The little kids did great too.
Tammy's class got huge amounts of applause. They range in age up to 80 and they had flapper costumes and they sounded great. Tammy traded out her dress at the last minute so she could actually dance in it. Instead of the nice light blue she had black so she didn't stand out enough against the black stage, but still it looked and sounded great.
We had a bunch of the kids' school teachers with us in the audience and I'm glad Max's teacher was on the end because he had the nerve to get up despite the fact that it wasn't a 'good' time to bail. We all followed him. We told people in the back about our seats so they could sit down.
After that we went to Friday's for some dinner and desert. The staff sang Happy Birthday to Sam in so much as the song had the words happy and birthday in it, but no 'to you' or any other thing like tune that might make BMG sue the TGIFriday's chain of establisments. Sam's kindegarten teacher told her to stand on her chair as they sang so I helped her up. When she came down Christy asked her if she wanted us to sing 'happy birthday' for real to her and Sam said no thanks. She'd had enough attention to last her. This is funny because the whole meal she kept asking me if I had told them it was her birthday and I kept not answering her. Then when it came down she was a little taken a back.
I ate cheese sticks with Sam and some apple crisp. They didn't have the big brownie thing and I'll applaud Tammy's restraint in not injuring the messenger when he told her they were out of brownies.
Then we went home and I'd like to say we peacefully went to bed... but that would be a LIE. No Max had some congestion and so We wanted him to have some antihistimine (sp?). The only kind we had left was a tiny caplet and he can swallow pills, but there is always a war of wills before he does it. It took an hour and a half I think before tammy finally got him to do it. Our styles are a little different. Tammy's is better, but I'm just not capable of being so positive after an hour of trying to get him to take it. Tammy and I both are of the opinion if we ever cave we're done for so we stand our ground despite the fact that I really really wanted to go to bed.
She tagged me out and I don't know what she did to get him to take it, but I uploaded the flapper photos while she did it then I was clear. I crashed pretty hard right after that. I didn't make it in to work at my usual early time... I don't think I actually slept between 5 and 7 but I rested some to catch up.
I'll post the flapper URL a little later...
