My big girl on a big stage

Sunday is Sydney's American Girl fashion show performance.  Tonight was a mandatory rehearsal at the theatre.  The show is being held in the Qualcomm theatre, so it was kind of cool for me to get to walk back on my old stomping grounds. 

Sydney is super excited about the show.  She got to sit in the front seat of the car on the way there (Jason filled the back up with bicycle).  She pulled down the visor, and just stared at herself in the mirror, the ENTIRE drive.  She smiled, she tilted her head and smiled, she turned to look at her earrings, and danced to the music.  I wish I could have video taped her, she was so darn cute and funny. 

So, we get checked in for rehearsal, and it took SO darn long, so darn boring waiting.  She still loved every moment of it.  She got to talk and giggle with the other girls while she waited.  So since it took SO long, and was SO slow, they ran out of time.  They had 2 minutes to spare for Sydney's entire group to rehearse.  She was on stage for 30 seconds...arg.  No cameras are allowed during the real show, so this was my one chance for pictures, and they give me 30 seconds.  No costumes yet either...boo!  I'm sending a disposal camera with her Sunday, lets hope she gets something good!

So, here's my big girl practicing her walk out onto the big stage! 

And then, here is her group, walking back off stage.  She did a little excited skip on her way out...not supposed to do that, I don't think...no one else did that...she couldn't help herself :).
