Kalob's Recital!

I can't believe it's over! Kalob had his recital this past Saturday! It was amazing! The show times were 12:00pm, 3:00pm and 7:00pm! It was called The Greatest Show On Earth! So of course it was circus themed! The stage was amazing! I helped put some of it together! I am so happy that I did cause I really felt a part of the group! I love everyone there! We had so much fun! I didn't even care that I got all sweaty in front of everyone! LOL!

Kalob went to rehearsal Friday night and then again Saturday morning for the opening number! It was to Britney Spears "Circus." It was fantastic! I still can't believe all Kalob can do on his broken foot! He amazes me! He didn't complain once all day! And let me say it was all day! He got there at 10:15 am and we didn't leave till after 9:00pm!

Kalob's Nana came to the first show! We were so happy she came! Then Kalob's friend Brooke came to the second show! Oh my gosh he was so excited! He was in a total of 9 dances all day. I think that is awesome for his first recital and a having broken foot! Steven was in charge of getting all the pizzas for everyone! I was shocked when he volunteered to do that! LOL! What a great dad he is! He even took Kalob to rehearsal that morning so I could have extra time for me! But, not really cause all morning we were making sure we had everything Kalob needed! He had costumes, snacks, water bottles, props, etc! At least we didn't have to worry about makeup like the girls do! LOL! So really, I only had an hour to get ready after Steven left to take Kalob! LOL!

I stayed back stage a lot because Kalob had only a few songs in between some performances and with his boot it is hard to change quickly. So after I helped him I ran to the audience to see him perform then run back to help him again! It was fun! I had never done this before! LOL! But I wouldn't have changed a thing cause the experience was wonderful! I loved every dance! All the teachers have a amazing talent! I was so happy that they still wanted Kalob to perform even with his broken foot! I can tell they all care a lot about him!

After the first show we all had pizza and hung out! It was cool that Eric was there too! I was so happy that he took the whole day to be with us! He had so much homework to work on but came anyway! I really hope he had fun too! I don't think Eric realized how great the recital was going to be! After the 2nd show we went home for a little bit cause we wanted a snack and I wanted to change. I was all sweaty! LOL!

For the 3rd show Kalob said he could handle changing himself because there were 12 performances between his. So, I got to sit with Steven and Eric and enjoy the show! It was so awesome! Everyone who performed did so terrific! I am so proud of every single one them! All the them put their hearts into every step! After the last show we stuck around for a little while to chat! I was sad when Page came up and was crying cause she wasn't going to come back next year cause she is going to be cheering at school! I didn't realize how sad I was going to be! I really have come to know so many people people at the studio! Kalob was sad too! I don't know what I am going to do over the summer now because Kalob won't have classes till August! But hopefully we will get together and have swim parties or girls night with the moms!

What a wonderful experience this has been for Kalob! Some good and some bad! But we wouldn't change a thing! Well, maybe the broken foot! LOL! We already miss you all!!

HUGS!!

Busy Week!

This week has already been so busy! It's only Tuesday! LOL! Kalob had his last pool party yesterday. I feel bad for him cause he can only put his left foot in. But, his boot got wet so I let him put his right foot in the water for a little while. I was hoping that the boot would dry! It was pretty wet! He has tonight and tomorrow night to practice for Saturdays recital and Friday is dress rehearsal time! We are so excited to see him on stage! He is in 9 different dances! He's even in the opening number for all 3 shows! I love the opening number! It's to Britney Spears song "Circus." All the kids in company are in it! I am a little sad cause Kalob won't have dance for a few months. But his ankle needs to heal and he might need physical therapy to get back the strength in it.

Today I mailed out Eric's graduation announcements! WOO HOO!! I am so excited for him! He has worked so hard for this! He picked up his cap and gown yesterday! His last AP exam is on Thursday. He had 5 this year! Eric will have 33 credits going into college! So hopefully he will start as a second semester sophomore! That would be fantastic! We see his advisor the end of this month. I can't believe my baby is going to college in the fall! That is insane! So this week we need to send over all the information that the school still needs so he can get his classes set up! He was supposed to go to orientation but I've talked to friends and they say it is pointless to go. They have the kids away from the parents to pick out the classes! And you have people telling you what to take even if they are not in your major! That doesn't make any sense! They have no idea what AP tests you have taken or will take so you could end up paying for a class that you already have the credits for! Plus, the orientation itself costs $150.00 for the student and $75.00 for a guest! That is a rip off! So we called and got the run around but finally made an appointment with his advisor! Thank goodness! Why pay when you have to see your advisor any way?

We may have a lot of running around to do this week and the rest of this month, but I love being a mom! I hope all of you have a great week! Post a comment and let me know how you all are doing!

HUGS!!

Kalob's Broken Foot!

Well, there is good news and bad news. The good news is that Kalob's growth plate in his ankle is almost healed. The bad news is his foot is broken in a second spot! It's on the side of his right foot. So he is still in his boot! He is trying so hard to do every dance move for the recital! He is actually doing so good! I am so proud of him! He is so dedicated! I worry about him doing too much though! But he keeps telling me it doesn't hurt. We soak his foot every night in ice water for 4 minutes. That helps a lot! Next weekend is his recital! I am so excited but sad too because he won't have dance for a few months. :( His dance studio is awesome and the teachers and staff are fantastic! I have even made friends there so it's fun for me too! Keep your fingers crossed that Kalob can make it through this next week and be able to dance in the recital without injuring his foot more! Have a great weekend everyone! I'll let you know how it all goes next week!

HUGS!
