Mikaila's first Hula dance

Last night was soooo much fun! It was Mikaila's first performance as a Hula Dancer. She is so good, I can't even explain. It's totally natural for her to dance. I have no idea where she got it from though, neither me or marty can dance worth crap. Anyway so she has only been taking lessons for a week and a half and she had it down pat for the performance. It was awesome. She was quite shy though so we had to bribe her with ice cream to get her to go in front of all those people. She is quite a shy little girl, but usually when she dances with her other class (mainly ballet and jazz), she does just fine. Maybe it was just that there were no other kids to be with her. She loves it though.
I kind of feel bad cuz Mikaila has all these fun classes and performances and Alex hasn't done anything. I don't really know what kind of classes to put him in. I am signing him up for karate in August and he will really love that but I think he feels left out still. If anyone knows of any other cheap classes I can put him in let me know. I want him to feel included as well. There just isn't as much for a boy to do like girls have. Why is that? I was going to sign him up for baseball or soccer, but he hates soccer and I missed the deadline for baseball so that is out of the question. I also wanted to sign him up for swimming lessons, but the only time they have lessons is in the morning when I am at work, so that is nixed too. Sheesh! Anyway, we are all recovering from a busy and very stressful week of stupid family drama, which I will not go into, and stuff at work. I am so ready the new week to start and it better be better then last week. But all in all it should be good. Pictures of the dance below.
