New Trainers

The other day we went shopping to find me a new pair of nice shoes as my favourite black glittery Kitty ones that I wear for parties don't fit me anymore. Daddy said he would buy me a new pair, only problem was when we went shopping I couldn't find any shoes that I really liked, but I found a lovely pair of trainers. I don't actually need any trainers at the moment. but I have fallen in love with them.

 We went to TK Maxx and these ones were just sitting there. They are lovely bright pink with three lighter pink stripes, with the word Adidas at the back of the shoe. My mum told me they are actually a designer shoe and when she was younger Adidas was popular, I'm not sure if it is now. But that doesn't bother me, I just think they look really cute on me and that they are really comfortable as well. My mum is planning to run the Disneyland Paris half marathon next year and they also do a 5K run and I am allowed to run one. So mummy says that I can do running with her at the weekends which I am excited about. I will definitely be keeping you up-to-date on the running.

I also have lots of sports wear that will go with my new Trainers. I only have a lot of it because I go dancing a lot.

Here is my September Book Review, I hope you enjoy.

Why I am Not Into Dance Competitions

Before you read this blog post, I am very proud of my friends when they get their medals at dancing. Most of the time they do deserve it, and at some point and I will see them in music videos or on the West End stage. And when they are on the West End stage I will be there buying a ticket to go and see them and support them. I put this first as some of the rest of the blog post might seem a bit like me moaning. That is just my opinion.

At the moment I'm not really into dance competitions, I'm not sure if it is the fact that last year I completely mucked up my bellet, and that I really wasn't confident on stage (not like the rest of my dance friends) or the fact that even if you think you have done well, you are really proud of yourself, you still get really bad marks and don't really get anything to show for it. Or the fact that it's always the same people that get first, or if you're a boy and didn't do that well you'll still probably be first because you're a boy and they try to encourage boys into dancing more.

The parents get way into it as well. Once I caught one of the mums shouting at the kid before he went on stage because he forgot one of his moves when he was practising. I don't mean a little shout, it was a big shout out, I felt really sorry for him. And did I mention it all happened just before he was about to go on stage to perform this dance. That is not a nice thing to do to the kid. It's absolutely horrible.

.

  I'm not sure what my mum is like when I'm at a dancing competitions, I know that she feels really nervous for me and when I get nervous she always says it's up to me if I want to go on stage still. She lets me pick out whichever dress I want for that solo and she always tells me don't worry what happens and that she'll always be proud of me. But she does say to me before I enter any competitions it's up to me how much work I put in. If I put in a lot of effort in I will do well, if I don't put in effort then I won't. She will not push me but she says I should not let my friends down (that's if I'm doing a group dance) and that if you're working in a group you work as a team, because otherwise you are only as bad as the worst person. I didn't have a clue what that meant first of all but after she explained it to me I got it, it means that if you are the worst person the whole group is the same level as you. If your friend is the worst person you are at there level as it's a group, so you work as a team. Don't moan if someone's got a bigger part that you, it just might mean that they are slightly better than you are at that part.

There is one main thing I like about competitions and that is getting my make up and hair done, choosing a very pretty dress and working hard on a dance to the point where it's at perfection, and you are doing the moves perfectly. 

 What I absolutely hate is away you go on stage and you get judged, you will get 1st, 2nd, 3rd or you just don't place. I love dancing for just dancing, not for someone to tell if I am any good at it. If I am then great, if I am not then I don't mind.

Birthday Party

The other night I had one of my friend's birthday parties. Let's call her dancing S. As you know I don't use real names in my blogs. She turned nine years old and her mum hired out a room in the pub nearby only five minutes from my house and right opposite the school. And of course I got dressed up in a nice outfit. My mum was also invited as she is friends with dancing S's mum.

When we got there I saw a photo booth. I've got a few photos with my friends, there was also a garden out the back with trampolines, footballs and other fun outdoor things. I spent a lot of time out there. There were so many balloons as well and we all know how much I love balloons. She even had a Pinata but there was nowhere to hang it up so her mum in the end just threw all the sweets in the air and we had to catch them. I was in the perfect location for this, right in the middle and instead of trying to catch them I went straight to the floor to pick up the ones that everyone missed. I've got lots of my favourite sweets.

 We didn't end up leaving the party until about 9 o'clock. Mum dropped me home and she went back just for one more drink with her friends. It was a fantastic party. Oh, thank you very much dancing S, and happy birthday

September Lookover

What can I say about September? Well I've been back to school and it's going okay, well more than okay. I'm doing pretty well at school, we have to do something called Manga High for Maths homework at this moment in time and I am 8th in the whole entire school, which is pretty good. Over the next week I will try and work my way up into the top five. We also do a reading scheme at school. So far I have read four books and have passed all my books. I'm going to try and keep on top of that, as
I would really like to read 20 by the time we break up for Christmas.

  I had a friend's birthday party to go to this month and also I went to a birthday party with my parents for one of my dad's friends. It was my daddy's birthday too!

At school we had a really random school trip to the local library, not entirely sure why we had this trip but we had it. And we had a Vikings banquet at school. All it was, was that we dressed up as Vikings and had a packed lunch in the School hall instead of the dining hall. We are supposedly having another Vikings day in October.

  I have been doing lots of dance practice, as I have a competition coming up in October. I think it's on the 8th in the afternoon.

That's all for September, let's get ready for October.
