So, This morning Beetle got up.. after much proding and suggesting FINALLY Got dressed for Thanksgiving. She was wearing a skirt, shirt and sweater. ger hair was down, she had it straightened, she had a little lip gloss on some mascara...She looked lovely, like a real girl!
Well, about an hour after that she decided it was time to work her full turns.. and had to put on some athletic socks.
An hour after that it was time to work Handstands so off came the sweater.
An hour later she brought out her pirouette bar and started working press handstands.. She put shorts on under her skirt..then that got complicated -Apparently the skirt got in the way.. she took off the skirt.
Finally, she is standing there in front of me ready for Thanksgiving Dinner in shorts and a tank top with her hair in a pony.. all sweaty.. just like she left practice!!
I am thankful that she is dedicated to her sport, but cant we go ONE day without gymnastics!.. all in good fun.. do your DD's do that? turn everything into a practice? Change from dress clothes to work out clothes? Do you ever see your DD with her hair NOT in a Pony tail???(one more question, why do I pay for highlights, when no one can see them in a ponytail???)
Seriously, I am glad she loves her sport.. Happy Thanksgiving to all!!
