So the pageant is quickly approaching and after the big surgery day tomorrow, I’m sure it will be Saturday before I know it. I took a little bit of time to practice “the walk” with Emma tonight turning her free space in her room into a stage and telling her to walk to the front left corner and then right. It was a hoot. She was swinging those hips and propping her hand on her hip like a pro. If she does anything remotely as cute as that on Saturday, we’ll all be at least entertained even if the judges aren’t impressed. She did decide to do it though after I told her she had to walk on stage by herself in order to get a crown. I hope I have that right…maybe it’s a trophy she gets.
Lexi is still insisting she doesn’t want to try on either of her pageant dresses yet was excited when we practiced our walk together. It wasn’t anything serious. I just told her to wave to Grandma and Pappy when we stood at each corner.
I think I’ve been asking too many questions to the director because in her last email she says “Don’t stress on any of this!” While I’m not creating any stomach ulcers over the thing, I have been trying to get the money, dresses, shoes, hair, socks, hairbows, photos, etc. all in order so Saturday is just a show up and walk the stage type deal. My game plan is for me to be frazzled now and then be calm on Saturday so the girls don’t freak out and think it’s a big deal. Because really it all boils down to about a 30 second walk on Saturday.
Oh, and Lexi is now 1 of 3 in her category so her attendance in State is not guaranteed. Which, honestly, when I found that out, I was like, whew. Having to do all this out of town is even more stressful! I guess I’ll hold off on stressing on that one and just stress about this one for now…
