Last week was Neive's Ballet show. After shopping with Aunty Louise on Saturday for the perfect sister of the groom outfit I came home and felt really ill. That night I was violently sick and had a sore tummy (I'm putting this politely). Sunday I took to my bed and Neive was farmed out to the grannies and by Monday I was still feeling awful. Neive had her dress rehearsal for the ballet on Monday night so I had to take her. No buggies allowed inside so I had to hold Beth the whole time, i had an ear infection in both ears and couldn't hear any of the announcements and Neive was hyper. To top it all off Beth started being sick! I made it home and Beth and I collapsed into bed. Monday night Beth was sick constantly and I slept upright with Beth lying on my chest (It was the only place she would settle). Thankfully Tuesday we had off from ballet and Neives first night was Wednesday. We had to leave them with the dance staff on the 1st night. With Isla not being there Neive was really unsettled (the photo shows that)but thankfully Aunty Janette came over and settled her. When she came on she did all her dance steps and I was as proud as punch.
She has only being going 4 times and I couldn't believe how much she had learnt. The whole routine Neive kept looking at the audience looking for us. Granny Chickens was waving away like a banshee but she couldn't see us. After the first night I stayed with her till it was time to go on. She enjoyed the whole week but I was shattered. There's lots of preparation involved in a show.
