Queen of TDT

Bailey is the Queen of TDT....THAT DANCE THING.  It's kinda like cotillion, kinda like etiquette class, kinda like ballroom dance classes, kinda like manners class...all rolled into one.  And the dancing partners are BOYS.

When Sammy did TDT she didn't really appreciate the social part of it.  Bailey is only there for the social part.

Bailey gets together with her friends before TDT to do what I used to do with my friends before school dances...we called it pre-funk.  Basically you meet at one of the girl's homes, eat some snacks, hang out and do each other's hair before you leave to drive to the American Club together for the event.

This is Bailey and her posse looking their best tonight over at her friend Amanda's house:

Here's some photos of the girls at the last TDT pre-funk party of their 6th grade year (last May):

TDT is only for middle-schoolers so Bailey has just begun her last two years of this program.  It's only once a month so she has many opportunities for dressing up ahead of her.  Her favorite months of TDT are the ones where Mike and I are the chaperones!  :)
