It was a busy and exciting weekend for Katelynn. Katelynn lost her 3rd tooth at school on Friday and couldn't wait to show me when I got home. She was super excited for the tooth fairy to come, but she was trying to figure out how she could keep her tooth and still get the money. It was also her weekend to shine and show off what she has learned in dance this year. Friday night she had dress rehearsal for her dance performance. I picked her up after work and we had a really small and quick bite to eat and then she got into her costume and we were off to dress rehearsal. There were a ton of little girls in costumes and they all had to wait patiently for their turn on the big stage for practice. The bummer is the mommy's have to stay back stage and we don't get to see a thing until the performance. After they ran through their routine a few times we were free to go. We stopped off and grabbed some food to take home and eat because we were both starving! We ate quick and then made sure to put the tooth under her pillow in hopes that the tooth fairy would bring her some money. She gave her tooth a last good-bye and was asleep in a few minutes.
Saturday morning she ran down to our room to let us know that she was going to check under her pillow and see if the tooth fairy had left anything for her. (And thank the lord that she did because Dan and I had completely forgot! How did we forget this?) I made her come and lay in bed with for a few minutes and Dan left our room to go to the bathroom, aka..to put the money under her pillow, and then we all 3 went upstairs together to check. Dan is no longer in charge of tooth fairy duties - he left the little packet that had her tooth under her pillow and the money. You can imagine the ordeal! Dan swiped it and I told her the tooth fairy had taken the tooth out of the packet and left the money. She wanted to check and man did we almost get busted big time. The rest of Saturday was spent cleaning up and then off to go shoe shopping for the kids and me. They needed sandals and I needed some new tennis shoes. We found each kiddo a pair of shoes, but didn't have the best of luck. We picked up some new summer pj's too while we were out. I found a great deal at the Reebok outlet store and got a pair of walking shoes and running shoes for buy one get one free. We stopped off at Chili's for lunch and then had to head home. Junior fell asleep in the car on the ride home and it was a good thing since it was going to be a long night for him too watching all the dance performances.
At about 4:30pm it was time to start getting Katelynn ready and beautified! The dreaded part for both us - doing her hair. If you have ever watched Toddlers and Tiaras this is basically what it looks like at my house when we are trying to get ready. First a screaming match while brushing through the hair, followed by tears and crying while curling the hair and then the finished product of big smiles and how wonderful she looks. One day I should tape us so we can view when she is older and have a good laugh or cry over it together. The make-up fortunately is fun for both of us. All dolled up and ready to go we were off to the dance recital. This year the rules changed a little and all performers had to stay in the back room for the entire show. They do have a TV feed back there so the kiddos can watch the other performers while they wait. Katelynn was in the 2nd half of the show this year. We sat through the entire first act and then as she was coming up to perform on stage and had just started a group of people stood up to leave. I was trying to tape the performance on my Iphone and watch obviously and was so mad. I kept telling them - Sit Down Please! I had waited 2 hours to watch my little girl and these people decided to stand up during a performance. I could have beat them with a stick, seriously! But all was good and Katelynn did a fabulous job on her performance. She was so happy to see us when she was finished and of course was excited to go to Dairy Queen for her ice cream treat. We headed to DQ and both kids divulged in some dipped cones and then we were home bound. Katelynn fell asleep on the way home. Both kids were in bed by 9:30pm and mom and dad were in bed shortly behind them at 10pm.
