SweetCheeks At Dance Class

Tuesday night is the night for

Dance Class.

Dance Class is for SweetCheeks

two older sisters...

Lulu & Ria.

This Tuesday night

Lulu had school conferences.

My daughter wondered if I could take

Ria to...yep...

Dance Class.

Of course I could.

Wait..

What?

What's that?

You want me take SweetCheeks too?

Do you remember the last time I took her?

Do you?

Do you remember how bored she was?

She had to sit there and couldn't dance.

She had to sit there in

the dark part of the room and

WATCH.

SweetCheeks is not a good WATCHER.

SweetCheeks is a DOER!

How much is it worth to YOU

if I take HER with ME?

Starbucks for a week?

He says...I'm going over by my Gramma.

I told him that was probably a good idea.

After he moves by his gramma I look over.

There is SweetCheeks splayed

out like she is too exhausted to move.

He went to sit

by his Gramma.
