Every Day's A Blessing: Who's Your Disco Daddy?

WHEW!! Today was another marathon day, with an overflow of blessings. First, I have to say how grateful I am for the Hall family. Sharon, Bob, Isaac, and Avery adopted Molly for the day so she didn't have to suffer through another day at the dance competition. We dropped her off around 9:30am, and picked her up around 7:45pm. There are not many people I would even consider asking to watch one of my kids for that long. Not only were they more than willing, but I did not spend a single minute today worrying about how she was doing - I knew she was in loving, capable hands. She came home to us fed, dry, and worn out... a surefire indication of a successful day in any toddler's life.

Then there was the competition itself. We arrived at 11:30am for a 3:45pm performance. (The dads spent a while rehearsing before going onstage.) We had fun watching some of the other dances from our company, but after watching dance all weekend even my girls were pretty over the whole competition. But every second of waiting was TOTALLY worth the 4 minutes of magnificent man-dancing. The name of their routine this year is "Who's Your Disco Daddy?" and is full of 70s classic hits. It's entertaining from start to finish. These dads are truly amazing - I have said more than once I could not do what they do without some massive amounts of alcohol ;) As great as it is watching these guys shake their stuff, it's a million times better watching their daughters cheer them on. These girls could not be more excited if Justin Bieber himself were to hop on stage. They are all SO proud of their dads, and absolutely love that they get to share this dance experience with them. I doubt if any of these girls will remember their old dance routines years from now, but they will not soon forget watching their disco dads groove their way into their families' (and the whole audience's) hearts.
