Sophie is taking part in her first dance festival next week and this week has been full of practice and preparation for this. She has a tap solo, a duet and a group number to dance in and is very excited about it, especially when she finally got to see her costumes this week. Unsurprisingly, she’s a little nervous too, but we’ve had a few practice runs in front of an audience which will hopefully help her with her performances next week.
I love watching her dance and seeing just how much she loves it. She’s worked so hard over the last few months and it’s been lovely to watch her practice. Hopefully she’ll manage to dance her routines next week as well as she’s danced them during her practice sessions.
What I’ve been grateful for this week:
- Day 288 – I am grateful for the joy of getting a letter from a friend in the post.
- Day 289 – I am grateful for the beautiful sunrise this morning.
- Day 290 – I am grateful for a make-up tutorial from Sophie’s dance teacher, a hair practise and lots of dance practise today to prepare for Sophie’s first dance festival.
- Day 291 – I am grateful for time just getting out and about and having fun with Thomas.
- Day 292 – I am grateful that my husband was only a few minutes away with my spare car keys after I managed to accidentally lock my keys in the car with Thomas inside.
- Day 293 – I am grateful for a much-needed haircut!
- Day 294 – I am grateful for space to get the VTech cars out again and that Thomas enjoys them as much as his sisters did.
Other things that have made me smile this week:
- Sophie getting out the My Little Pony toys for the first time in ages. Jessica used to love those toys and watching Sophie playing with them again brought back some lovely memories.
- Thomas looking very cute in his costume for the TinyTalk Halloween class.
Such beautiful photos of your children. I can imagine your daughter’s excitement. As a matter of fact, I think the whole household must be nervously excited for her too. Well, let’s hope it all goes well and that she will continue to love expressing herself this way through being creative with dance.
Thank you, she’s been very excited about taking part and is enjoying the dance festival so far.
Lovely photos as usual, Thomas is super cute, as is Sophie in her dance clothes. What a talented little girl you have. x
Thank you, it’s such a joy to watch her performing.
Thomas looks so cute in his costume. Seeing Sophie in her dance clothes reminds me of when my daughter did dancing. She stopped because she did not like doing the shows. I hope Sophie enjoys herself and sending her best wishes.
Thank you, she’s enjoying taking part in the dance festival so far.
Aww! Good luck to Sophie with her dance festival. She sounds very excited, bless her.
Lovely photos. x
Thanks Kim, she’s been enjoying taking part so far.
Hope Sophie’s dance festival goes well. Love her blue tap shoes. Oops with the car keys. My mum managed to do the same when my brother was similar age, but an hour away from home. The recovery guy who came wasn’t impressed it was a Ford. Evidently back then they were a nightmare to get into without keys
Thank you. I’m glad my husband was nearby and I didn’t need to call out the AA!
I hope the dance festival goes well and she enjoys is. Apparently for my first dance show I ran on to the stage and froze!!! That of course won’t happen to Sophie 😉
Thank you. She’s had one performance so far and did really well.
Those gratefuls are so wonderful. I also got a much-needed haircut last week and am grateful for it too. Wishing Sophie good luck and lots of joy on her dance festival!
Thank you Astrid. She’s enjoying her dance festival so far.
Awww congratulations to Sophie with her dance X #mmbc
Thank you Sam.
Love the dance costume. I always had a nightmare putting Anya’s hair in a bun for her classes. You must have panicked when the car locked! #project365
I did! It was such a relief that my husband wasn’t too far away.
I love both Thomas and Sophie’s outfits! Good luck to Sophie in the dance show – those blue shoes are awesome!

Thank you Catherine, she’s enjoying taking part so far.
Love the colour of Sophie’s dance shoes and Thomas looks adorable in his halloween costume
Thank you. She loved the tap shoes but in the end we went with white ones for the festival as they worked better with her costume.
Well done Sophie on your dance show, you look fab. I love Thomas’ outfit too
Thank you, she did so well. Thomas was very cute in his vampire outfit.
Oh how exciting for Sophie I hope it has gone very well for her. She looks lovely in her costume. Yay for being able to get your hair cut and thank goodness your husband was not far away with the keys. Thomas looks adorable in his outfit. Hope you have had a wonderful Halloween
Thank you, she had a really good week in the dance festival.
