So many years have passed with me sitting in the same place as I am right now – on the couch, facing the front of the house, watching the girls perform on the floor in front of the dining room (if you know the house, you can totally picture where I am talking about). Here's what I've seen them do there:

• ballet (Nutcracker as little girls, Nutcracker as bumblebees, Nutcracker as snow angels, Nutcracker as soldiers, baby Flamingoes in Alice)
• hula hooping
• cheerleading
• hip hop (ages ago)
• Wii Let's Dance
• yoga poses
• stretches and splits
• cartwheels
• dances together
• dances solo
• Alien Martian Boy
• monologues
• speeches
• book reports
• memorized poems

Lots of laughter and smiles and proud mommy.
