This is a post dedicated entirely to my princess! It was the big boys birthday month in September and it's the small boys birthday month in october, so they are having lots of attention... so I thought I'd give the girl type a shout out.
She has been a busy little madam.... with ballet concerts, and graduation rehearsals and gymnastics displays and then there is always her own little performing antics at home! This video was shot last week. What can I say... the girl loves to sing. Watching this feels like I am indeed looking into the future.... eeek! Heaven help us all.
You've got to love it... the huge confidence, the lack of inhibitions...oooh man! Too cute.
That is what my little girl is like most of the time - a little fireball of energy and vibe. And then this week she got sick. Very sick, and my outgoing, confident little girl became clingy and hysterical if I wasn't around... I didn't know what was going on, but she was brewing something. And then it all came to a very ugly head on Thursday. She had such a violent tummy bug that I thought she was going to land up in the Sandton clinic, never mind having to do 4 performances for her ballet show!
But my little trooper, with a bum bullet and some tummy cement, she managed to get through the charity performance on Friday night. She had a good nights sleep, and then woke up a different child on Saturday! It amazes me how resilient little children are. She did all 3 performances yesterday and was just the cutest little ballet mouse :0).
This ballet business is very serious, and therefore a serious face is needed. ;)
All the little mice. We are NOT happy about being the smallest mouse
Emily and her "clock" Karina. (Each mouse danced with a "big girl" clock) The clocks were sooo sweet with the little mice and really looked after them x.
And today - she is doing just fine. SUCH a relief, I hate having sick kids. It's a rainy sunday in Joburg and the husbank is still away, so I have declared it a duvet day for me and the 3 mini's .... looking forward to just relaxing and cudling and doing not much at all x x x
Lovely Kirsty, just lovely!!

Seriously cute! I also hate having sick kids - it really makes me understand why some mothers insist on their daughters marrying doctors!! I think I would amend that statement - marry a pediatrician! We had a duvet day yesterday too - but because it was too hot to be outside for too long :)

Aw man, so sweet. She really was a trooper hey? Wow, to think she was feeling so rough and then pulled those performances out the bag - very impressive sprite! Seeing our usually SUPER ENERGETIC HAPPY WILFUL CONFIDENT kids turn into hysterical clingons is frightening...I always think I will NEVER biatch about them when they are well again...just to see the life return to their eyes is magical!
