Brylei's dance




Brylei went to her first dance performance this morning! Funny story when we got her costume from her teacher I was very dissapointed to see that it came just above her chest and there were no sleeves, so wanting her to be modest I stayed up late last night sewing on some wide silky ribbon for sleeves I was so proud of my self because it looked so cute but a little anxious to see what the teacher said this morning. When we got to the school this morning they did a practice and then we all went to the dressing room to help them into there costumes I was getting ready to put Brylei's on her when I looked around and noticed everyone elses costumes, then I started to panick I had been trying it on her upside down and sideways so what I had thought were strings to tie around her waist were actually to go around her neck making it a lot more modest then I had thought. I quickly ran out to Chris and had him use his strength to tear off the sleeves that I had so carefully sewn to the bottom of her costume. And quickly returned it to her without anyone knowing how UNCLEVER I was. Welcome to the world of dance

Nice. Way to be a modest mom though! That is great. I cannot believe how big she is!

I think that is awesome that you tried to make it more modest. Ashlie had to wear some kind of sketchy stuff for show choir and my parents found her a skin colored tank top to wear under most stuff. Aunt Steph told me when I was young in regards to modesty "Flaunt it while you got it" and I always think of that and it makes me laugh when modesty issues arise...however I "no longer got it" so I am more than happy to cover it up!!!

Ya I don't think we have met. I've met your parents who came to our wedding, and Cheer and her husband, and I think a few others from your family. Thanks for the comment. Now we can look at your blog often. Take care!

That is hilarious and so good of you to be a good mom and help her to be modest! I am glad that it all worked out. Brylei is such a beautiful little girl! I can't believe how big all of your cute kids are getting. It is so fun to be able to see what is going on with your family.

That is an awesome story. You care about your daughter so much and want to teach her to be modest. What a wonderful example all daughters need mom's who care enough to teach modesty. The pictures are so CUTE. You definitly have a PRINCESS for a daughter!
