Can I Show Them My Arm?
Jordan went back to dance class Wednesday… it’s the first class since we missed her big holiday recital because we were in Chicago last month building her newest helper arm. When Jordan got to class today, her teacher told me the dancers all couldn’t stop asking about Jordan’s arm. Near the end of class, she…

Jordan and her dance class are planning for the holiday dance recital. Unfortunately, she won’t be able to perform at the recital because it’s the same weekend as when we’re in Chicago building her next helper arm. She’s bummed about missing the performance, she’s excited about building a new helper that she’ll be able to…

Miss Jordan was part of another fantastic dance recital this year. We got to the stage early so my friend (who happens to be Jordan’s teacher) could help me do Jordan’s hair. I’m just not good at this… and Cyndi has years of experience as a dance teacher and a mom. So I did the…

Tonight’s the big night… and like many dance studios, we aren’t allowed to take pictures or shoot video during the actual performance.

Jordan is prepping for her dance recital next month. The girls in her class got to try on their recital outfits last night. Honestly, the kids scored an awesome dress. Just like last year, Jordan’s outfit has gloves. Her teacher asked if Jordan wanted to wear her helper arm so she’d have gloves on both…

Right before I left town for my most recent trip, I had a chance to sit in on Jordan’s dance class. She’s worked with this studio since she was two and a half years old. That seems like forever ago. Either way, Jordan loves dance. It was really fun to watch her work very hard…

Jordan isn’t all there… but she’s so much better. We’re learning the hard way about what foods work and don’t work… but she was feeling well enough to participate in the world again. Jordan went to a make-up dance class this morning. It was great to see her back to dance. She hasn’t been to…
