Talent show 2014

 

 



A couple of months ago I received a facebook message from Parker's friends mom

asking if I thought Parker would do something with her daughter {Jaime} in the talent show

 

Parker is pretty shy so I said I would ask him and asked what they had in mind

 

She answered back right away: What about having them dance to a 50's song?

 

I asked Parker if he would dance with Jaime and he said he would

I must have told him a hundred times that if he told her he would do it, he couldn't back out

 

I would have never seen this coming

 

We picked a song {Barbara Ann by the Beach Boys},

found a wii Just Dance video so they could learn the moves

and my mom my made Jaime a beautiful pink poodle skirt

 

We had the kids together several times to practice

The night before the talent show Parker was struggling,

he just didn't have it in him that night and Jaime's mom told him he was a mess

I was upset to say the least

Here was a boy I never thought would agree to doing this

He had worked his tail off and basically got shot down

 

After they left, I messaged the mom and told her that I thought Jaime should dance by herself

I didn't want Parker to be the reason they didn't make the show

She told me that she meant nothing by it and said Jaime wouldn't do it if he didn't

 

Well..... the big day came for talent show tryouts

They kids did AMAZING and made it

 

The talent show was last Friday and I was so proud of these kiddos

They were so brave and you would have never known if they were nervous

They performed like they had performed a million times

 

Here it is

 

 

Here are a few snapshots of the kids

 

 

Jaime's mom works at Maid Rite which worked out perfect

 

 

 

Their big day

Poor Jaime is crying in this picture

Their teacher from last year is retiring and they had the second grade classes sing

This sweet girls emotions got the best of her but I think the pink roses helped a little

 

 

Jaime and Parker, we are so proud of you! Love ya both!
