Grace started Junior Assembly this week. Tommy did it in 6th grade too and so did Tom for that matter. The get all gussied up and go to a dance hall where some very brave (or crazy) ladies teach all these pre-teens how do the waltz and the fox trot and old fashioned dances. There's also "freestyle" where they dance like the teeny boppers they are.
This experience with a girl is completely different than it was with a boy. Tommy wore the exact same outfit for all 6 dances. He was ready in about 10 minutes. Grace and a gaggle of other girlies start at 4:30 for the 6:10 dance. There is a group event where the girls get ready together and have dinner at some one's house before the dance. I am on deck for the December dance (a friend and I are sharing the duty).
The girls looked very pretty and there was no fashion disaster (i.e., two girls wearing the same dress), at least in this group. And I caved in and let Grace ditch the glasses. (Don't get me started on that). Here they are:
These are the 9 girls who got ready together, plus 4 boys who dropped by for pictures.
