Backstage shenanigans

So I’ve learned as a dance mom, you spend the majority of your time backstage except for the few minutes you run into the auditorium to catch a 30 second routine from closest seat you can find.   That means I get a lot of backstage photos and not many actual performance pictures (most of the…

I can’t really explain this…

But then, why should I?  Isn’t this normal behavior for a just-minted 4 year old?  Ok, so maybe it’s not, but that’s one area of the floor I don’t have to clean.   And I guess this is payback.  Can you blame him?  Of course I was pointing the lens right back at him even…
