Jacob's Recital

Because of today's ridiculous schedule, I have no pictures and no video of the event. I went to my double doctor appointment, came home, then realized that I was supposed to have received my RhoGAM shot. I grabbed Jacob, went back to the doctor, got a shot, then headed to the recital.

I volunteered this year, so I was in charge of getting all the beginners dressed and ready. The other moms and I helped them practice then took them backstage. They weren't even my own kids but I was just as excited as I could be for each and every one of them.

Bringing them back to the dressing room, getting their class picture, taking them to the bathroom, etc made me miss Jake's first dance, but Kris and Ella were in the audience to cheer him on. This is Kris's first year to be able to go. While I was taking Jacob, Kris took Ella to her ballet class, got her changed, and brought her to the recital.

We brought the beginners up to the balcony- I thought I would DIE on that 4th flight of stairs- and I was able to watch Jacob's second dance. He did so well! We've been practicing at home so I think it really made a difference. I bought a DVD so I'll be able to watch his first dance as well.

I thought I had been told that dinner would be provided for volunteers so I didn't stop to get food for Jacob or myself- big mistake. The only food available was cookies, so Jacob and I basically had cookies for dinner. Once the recital was over at 9, I took both kids to a drive through and ordered burgers for the latest dinner ever.

Jake had a good time dancing and was happy to see his Irish Dance girlfriend, Ashlyn. There were pro pictures taken, so I'll post the link as soon as it's ready.
