CNY

Yesterday's Chinese New Year celebration went really well. It was beyond noisy and she did great! She said her line and loved being on stage. She waved to her sister in the audience and yelled her name. When the lion dance started abruptly with an explosion of sound, she jumped(along with the rest of us) and clasped her ears. I had her take her hands off of her ears so someone could take a picture of her and she kept them off the rest of the time. I am so proud of how well she adapted. We were there a total of 5 long hours and she was well behaved the entire time. I doubt we will go again, it's just too long for everyone. It's really nice that she can perform, but just not worth it to be there 5 hours. We got home late and it was really hard getting up this morning. I hate starting a Monday that way. I think we will have no excuse to re-start our program today, even though I am exhausted and it's only 1pm. I wonder what her reaction will be when I tell her it's time to do our exercises.
