Hey folks.
In my vain attempts to distract myself today, I took to the home video collection and found this pearler taken earlier this month of the LGBB in her new ballet get-up. Bless her cotton socks nylon ballet tights. She shows off a groovy bit of dancing complete with snarly looks – the snarly pout indicates the older/adolescent female version of herself, which she tries on whenever she wants to feel grown up (oh dear) – and is blissfully unaware I have propped up the iPhone camera whilst under the guise of cooking dinner.
Never let it be said I always have a clean house, but just a disclaimer: that dining room table always seems to have things draped on it/over it/under it whenever anything filmable happens in the kitchen! I see a discarded ball (thanks Jazz), a pet bed or two (thanks Pepper), a teddy/friend blanket made by yours truly strewn across the bench seat (thanks Lolly… or is that, thanks me?) and just no end of junk to be put away, really.
So enjoy my mess and my daughter’s dancing.
Oh, p.s. Astute watchers will note the bit-part cameos from Pepper, interjecting at two intervals with her latter-years signature bark (in time with the music, I might add). The staccato “Whaddabout me?!” bark for my attention that slowly drove me insane but that I’d give anything to hear today. Well…. maybe not. On second thoughts, it did most royally shit me and wasn’t ever her most endearing feature.
Anyway! To the video!
Oh the pout!!!!! xxx
That pout! Perhaps she can teach me to shuffle. My kids haven't managed yet!
I missed Pep's bark & had to go back to listen again… there was a weird noise coming from the veranda… damn Rusty.
Oh Wow! She is getting so grown up. Love it!
So love the recording and picture taking at the same time.
Very talented Mum. N x
Love it!!!!
I see the irony. And it makes me smile! Thank you. (And thanks Rusty, you cray-cray canine)
Heheh it's the new age! It makes me look so high-tech and hip, when in reality, it was just Steve's phone leaning up against the oven!
Mmm-hmmm. Do you feel sorry for me in about 5 years' time when she's doing it "fer real"?? (I do)
She's good! Lovin' the 'tude!
And believe me, your house is tidy!
I think my favourite part is the sideways leg shuffling waiting for the crescendo of the song.
Pish-posh! But yes, she does have 'tude down pat. Don't know *WHERE* she could get that from *mmm-hmmm….fingersnaps left to right*
That is precious! I can see what I have to look forward to. CrashGirl is already strutting some interesting moves at 4. Love the pout
I see a double act with her and Jack Woog – dontcha think?
Love it, especially her 'strike a pose'. Hope you, Steve and LGBB are coping okay. Hugs from Perth xxx
Yes. Prepare thyself! This has been building up since about the age of 4 in earnest.
Anyone who's in for a penny, in for a pound with regards to dancing impresses our Lolly
Hi Kakka xxx We're subdued, that's for sure. Jazz too. I've done alright today, though, and getting better – I haven't cried for the past 2 hours! (I'm averaging a little burst every hour at this point in my grieving… it'll pass, tomorrow will be better again)
