When you have kids you kind of hope that they might be interested in some of the same things you were into when you were little. Not that it's a big deal or anything but you think it might be kind of cool. For those of you who don't know I started dance class at age four until I was 22...now I'm old and the only "dance" I do is when I have to chase the dog around the house trying to get a pair of socks out of her mouth and she thinks it's ome sort of bizarre game, uuuugggghhhh! Anyhoo...when Jenna was five she went to dance class...let's just say it really wasn't her thing. She did fine but, she thought she just needed to memorize the steps and that was it (with her memory that didn't take long)...she didn't get the practice to improve part. So, we moved on to theatre...she was now amongst her people. It was a good fit for her. However, the drama is not limited to the theatre, she lives and breathes it...there is literally never a dull moment in the life of Miss Jenna.
I shall now explain the pieces of this ensamble (and I use that term loosely). Let me start with the only normal piece, the skirt; which was a gift from Aunt Julie...very cute and a darn shame that it is pared with the rest of this "get up". Then things start to go awry. The "pom pom" on her head (and who doesn't put pom poms on their head?) is from the Giant Day's Parade last summer. The lei is leftover from last weeks homecoming fesitivities, the wrist things are from a halloween costume from a couple of years ago (a princess costume, I believe), the "cape" is actually a skirt from one of my old dance costumes, the top is a cinderella dress-up piece that is NOT BIG ENOUGH FOR HER (did I emphasize that enough?) and last but no least...her pink slippers. One should alway finish an "outfit" with pink slippers, I say! Life is never dull around here and we like it that way...
