Lainey's First Solo

A big deal for a six-year-old! Her first solo! Performed to "My Boyfriend's Back" (a modern version). 

Sassy!

This might be the only "sassy face" she can make. But she used it a couple of times! Before yesterday, she told me she could only make "three sassy faces." One looked like this - the other was a smile - and the final one was something in between. :) 

So proud of the sweet girl! First overall in her category for her age (she might have been the only one...but  trophy's a trophy) and second overall for 8 & Under girls. :) I was more proud of her, however, for showing genuine happiness for her friend who was the first-place winner. She showed good sportsmanship and a good attitude. This could be because she's six, and this is her first solo competition, but I'll take it. :)

Lainey, Morgan, and a trash can

Morgan got first place in her category for her age, as well. 

Posing in the splits. Why not? :)

Some pictures that I took outside after the solo competition, before her group dance. She wanted me to take pictures of her jumping. :) Haha!

Last shot of the trophy. Then it went into the car. :) 

And P.S. - She had a run-in with a stone earlier in the week. She was playing on the stonework that circles our trees out in our front yard...and one was loose...so she fell. That's what the mark on her belly is from! (It's just below her the lining of her top.)
