Raising a Mini Diva: Now What?!

Well, the Pageant is over and done with, classes are wrapping up and MD is almost out of school for the summer! What are we going to do with ourselves?! Finding a place to live might be a good start...I think I'll work on that!

Speaking of the Pageant!

Wowza, Pageant pictures, right?! Sorry, I had to share! This little MD took 1st runner up at her first ever pageant! She was a bit nervous for her formal wear question, which was how can you make your school a better place. She stumbled a little to quietly reply "I can make my school a better place by always helping teachers and being nice to others" which was pretty much the "world peace" of this pageant as another mom put it, ha! She totally nailed her cheer routine which included a back walkover, heel stretch, jump and the splits. Her daddy said everyone was in awe of her cheer moves and I totally agree...but we might be biased. She did great introducing herself and the candy she was representing since the Pageant theme was candyland. We waited forever to get the results since there had been a tie. The girls had to walk out on stage one more time for the judges! SHE WAS THAT CLOSE TO WINNING! Which, we don't mind. she's thrilled to have had the experience with her adorable friends! We were so glad these three shared a "dressing room" Look at all that sass!

WE OWE A HUGE THANK YOU TO SWEET RACHAEL FOR MAKING MD'S DRESSES! If you are looking for something custom, I couldn't be more confident in recommending her! MD was a big part of the designing process and I love it that much more because of it! Here is her tootsie roll dress!

I'm glad the extra practices are over but I'm also sad she is back to only 1 day a week of cheer. She was so busy with pageant and cheer practice and all that extra time with her little buddies I think she is going to really miss it.

But not for long. We have cheer tryouts just a couple weeks after their final showcase so Miss MD is going to be doing some tumbling classes during the week to get ready for tryouts! I'm certain we will stick to a Mini's team for next year but you never know.

So, Miss MD has joined the Ursula Weidmann Model agency, http://www.ursulawiedmannmodels.com, but we are still waiting on a casting to go in and do all our paperwork. I'm so excited for her and can't wait for it all to begin. Hopefully we can do a lot this summer and take breaks during the school year.

In case we have some friends looking for a local cheer gym, here is MD's gyms tryout info!
