Last night, we went to go see Footloose at the Plano Children's Theater. One of my former students was performing in the musical so Yiyia and I took all five girls to go see the play. My camera was having some serious issues so these pictures aren't the best but I am glad that a few of them turned out okay.
Lainey and Caroline
Lainey did pretty well for the whole two and a half hours that we were at the play. She loved the dancing and the singing and loved to follow Caroline (my former student) and her "silber bow" around the stage. And since whispering is a challenge for Lainey, she announced everything she was thinking and the people around us could hear most of what she said. She especially loved the lead character's red cowboy boots, the roller skates that the waitress wore, Caroline's sparkly silver bow and the new braces on her teeth, the performers playing "ring around rosey," all of the cowboy hats, and the sound effects of the choo choo train which couldn't "get us" or "come in" or "hurt us" because it was "tend" (pretend). When the lights would go out between the acts she would become quite concerned and would say "uh-oh" and "oh, no," and, towards the end, she kept asking if it was "over" during these breaks. :) And yes, the people around us could hear her ask that question. Funny kid. She did so well and only really got antsy towards the end. She sat in a booster seat so she could see the stage and I can thank Caroline's mom, Denise, for giving us that suggestion. It worked perfectly!

We left the theater shortly after this picture was taken. What a memorable experience. Thanks to Caroline and her family for inviting us. We had a great time!
