Dance Team Auditions

Tomorrow Maddi will be trying out to be on the Mirco Starburst team. It is so cute to watch them all as they try to remember there dances and combos accorss the floor. They seem so little but yet mature at the same time. It is so fun to watch Maddi dance I feel like I just smile the whole time.

Tonight the owner of the studio had a talk with all the parents and something she said really hit me. She told of a lady that lived in Ogden who drives down to Orem so her daughter could take at the dance club. Her daughter is on Company and comes four to five times a week and practices about four to five hours at a time. Someone asked the mother why she does that and she responded that she loves that time in the car that she gets to spend with her daughter and that it has gone by so fast and then she wont have that time again. Sheryl( told the story a lot better, it almost brought tears to my eyes) but the point was to cherish the moments we have with our kids and to look at the positive and be positive.

Maddi is too young to even know that she is trying out for a team but if she doesn't make it I think that will be just fine, she can always try out again next year. I think it is so important to be positive for our kids and always make them feel no matter what that they are the best!

Brooklyn is starting dance in a few months and it's crazy to think in just a few years she will be where your sweet girl is. Time does go by so fast that's why we take lot's of pictures!! Good luck with try outs.
