For most of the day Friday, this was what we were dealing with. A little stomach virus. Thankfully, it was mild (in Lainey-terms, at least) and she perked up late in the afternoon. Thanks to Ibuprofen and Zofran. :)
a little silly string late in the day
See what I mean? Her energy had returned around dinnertime.
They played with this awesome bubble mix...
and they played with some "Magic Nuudles" (I'm pretty sure Walker is picking his nose in this picture...sorry).
On Saturday morning, Lainey and I headed to Arlington where she competed her solo for the second time. She got first place overall for 8 & Under girls. And first place in the 6 & Under Jazz Category. We were so happy for her!
I am grateful for her humble heart. She is always concerned for those who "didn't win anything" and really doesn't get too focused about winning. This could be because she's only six years old, but I am grateful for her attitude. She knows that once she steps onstage, it's just about her - no one else. :)
She has a loose tooth right now. She holds her mouth in this funny little smile (see the picture above) because I think the tooth bugs her. :) Ha!
She also received this Power Pack Award; this is an invitation to participate in a summer intensive in Florida (or Maryland) this summer. We are not going. :) But she received it because she showed the judges that she "really enjoys dancing." :) True! :) When we got home, I had to close my eyes for a minute. I was exhausted. Lainey continued to dance around our house. I think the competitions are harder on us, as parents, than they are on the kids!
sweet friends
Aaannnddd, our weekend ended with an unfortunate relapse of fever and more vomit. :( We're staying home from school tomorrow to hopefully kick this thing! Today we missed Brooke's confirmation at church (so sad about that) and a Rangers Game. :( Hoping for a better day tomorrow!
