Posing post-performance w/flowers from Jaron.Yup, I call it now...my daughter is going to be a celebrity...;o)
Kaia had her first summer camp performance. She's currently enrolled in Northeast FL's Premier Summer Arts program...a 7 week summer camp. She was FABULOUS and stole the show at times...seriously. At one point, everyone looked at me and Jaron...with big grins and giggles (them AND us).
Only low point of this first week...MEAN GIRLS!! Boooooo. Kaia constantly tried to befriend two older girls who weren't having it with her. They kept getting meaner to her as the week progressed. Don't worry, I was a good girl @ the performance and didn't do anything evil...hehehe. But seriously, it was very hard to see Kaia start to have to navigate these types of social situations and watching the pain she went through yesterday...when the older girls told a younger girl (and friend of Kaia's) to go hit Kaia (which the 3YO did). Poor Baby Girl. My sweetheart is a tough cookie and isn't afraid to let bullies know they're being bad (in general...like the time she had a gang of younger kids behind her and she made this 8YO boy bully cry because she yelled at him for not being nice to the younger kids...yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-uh!!). But, to see her cry & be so depressed yesterday was heart & gut-wrenching. It really takes a LOT to get to her since she has such a wonderfully thick skin. Poor girl. But, now her teachers know and she said today was a good day. =)
Anyhoo...she was a butterfly in the play (and might damn good one at that) and wearing her t-shirt that she made this week. OK, I picked the two best clips...the third clip I wanted was too large to upload...boooooooo. Seriously, this girl ROCKED!!!! She is just so amazing and AWESOME. BTW, did you know that "awesome" was banished in 2007? Whatever...my daughter BROUGHT IT and was AWESOME! Plus, her teachers think she's such a natural (not a surprise with Ms. Tippy Toes) dancer and was really surprised that she didn't have any prior dance experience.
Enjoy!
