Oh No They Didn't.......

Ever since we went to Chandler's dance recital in December Brooklynn wanted to dance but truly wanted a show to dance in front of an audience.  We thought win win, because they could be in the same class.  So after months of practice it was time for the big day - dance recital time.  The girls were so excited to wear their new costumes, perform outdoors at the new park, and have so many people watching them.

Showtime!  We were front-row ready to see this.  I was hoping I wouldn't cry like I did for the last one.  Everything's going good.........

And then this.......

So later we found out they were confused on which number they were supposed to stand on.  They had done really well all session, but with the new stage they weren't sure, so Brooklynn gently pushed Chandler away telling her it was the wrong number.  Chandler disagreed, and after some shoving, there were tears.  It was ugly!  Thankfully the teacher stopped the music, regrouped the girls, and restarted.  But the same thing happened again!  So I went up to the stage to try to talk to them (but of course I had no idea at this time why they were fighting).  After a third try, and yes, another fight I walked Chandler off-stage so they could continue.  She just kept saying she wanted to dance, so we tried one more time......

She interjected right at the partner dance (and luckily they finished without any more fights)

Picture pose at the end (one of my favorite pics ever).  Chandler was still pretty upset with her sister!

Although there were many laughs from the audience, I have to admit it was a little embarrassing.  I really felt bad for the other girls in the group and their parents, but at this age, what can you expect?  Needless to say we learned they will NOT be in the same class again!  And at least I didn't have to worry about crying from pride, but maybe from embarrassment.  (Hopefully I can upload the video soon.)

After show poses!
