280 Boogie

Today, we went to the 280 Boogie in downtown Waverly!! It was lots of fun and I am surely going to mark my calendar so we can do this again next year!!! It was an all day affair and so much fun that we were even able to skip nap time. There were lots of good friends to talk to and lots of good music to listen to! Towards the end, we headed down where the bands played, earlier in the day, we were in a not so crowded area, which was nice for the kids to run around and play! There was a sweet college girl there with her friends and she had bubbles and hulla hoops...Davis loved the bubbles and the girls practiced on the hulla hoops. Mackenzie has never used the hulla hoop, but she was determined to master it...she practiced and practiced, got frustrated with herself and then she came and sat down beside me telling me that she wasn't good. ( I have found that Mackenzie is a perfectionist at anything she does--if she doesn't think that she is good, she doesn't want to do it..when learning to write her letters, she would practice writing and then come to me and ask me which one was the preetiest..I would always say, Mackenzie they are all pretty & then she would let me know the imperfections in each one...Dancing--she quit, b/c she said she wasn't good at it--I tried to reason with her and tell her that she had to practice and she would improve, but after lots of battles, we quit!! ) I reassured her that she was doing great! A few minutes later, she got up, went and picked up the hulla hoop and started practicing some more--she got the hang of it and that hulla hoop would stay on her hips for a while! :) Great Job Mackenzie, I knew you could do it!! I am so glad that we are all feeling 100 % better and were able to go boogie at the 280 Boogie!!
