Kensi’s First Pageant

Every year on Memorial Day Weekend Beaver Dam (where I live) host the “Strawberry Festival.” It runs throughout the weekend and has a lot of activity going on. There is a car show, motorcycle show, rides, booths, singing, and of course the Pageant!
And this year we put Kensi in the baby pageant. The whole things kicked off this morning at 10 and they broke down the groups by age. For example, they started things off with newborn to 3 month old girls and then followed with the boys of the same age. And so on they went climbing up the age ladder until they got to the teenage Miss Strawberry Pageant.
Like fools we arrived early, at 9:30, just to make sure we got there in time. The pageant didn’t begin until 10 and Kensi is 15 months old so we ended up waiting a pretty good while. Over an hour to be exact.
It was tough keeping a 15 month old occupied for over an hour. Well I guess you could say keeping her still for an hour was the tough part. I heard an old saying once that said, “you spend a year teaching a baby to walk and to talk and spent the next 18 years trying to get them to sit down and shut up.” I thought that was funny.
Kensi During the Pageant!
But all in all Kensi did pretty well. When it was time for her to finally go on stage she did wonderful. Came right out and waved she is a very cute baby. She was a very good little girl during the most the process.
Like I’m sure all the kids were, she was getting hot and tired and it started to show!
But she still did really well and actually got 3rd place!! YAY Kensi!!
Overall today has been a great day! I love being able to spend time with my family doing things like this. I would want to miss this for the world! I am very proud of my little girl and how she acted today.
More days like this, maybe not another pageant but…
It is days like this that cause me to stay up late when I have to go to work most mornings. It is for days like this that I spent hours in front of my computer learning or spend my whole work day listening to training. Because I want there to be more days like this and not just on Holidays, but every day.
It’s for days like this that I joined Empower Network and teamed up with the Prosperity Team. So that there will be more days like this!
