26th November
Today has been a good day! I didn't go to school today because I had a ballet exam. I wasn't sure what an exam was but Mummy, Nana and Alfred were going to watch me dance and that is exciting.
At first I wasn't keen on doing an exam because I had to wear my tights and I thought they were going to be uncomfortable and itchy. I didn't want to wear my cardigan or my hair band and thought I might just stay at home. Mummy left me to be grumpy for a little while, not too long though. She gave me a big hug and got me ready to go. When I was all ready and had my tracksuit on I was very excited waiting for Alfred to pick me up in his car.
When I got to my dancing everyone was wearing their tights and ballet shoe, it was warm enough that I didn't need to wear my cardigan. My cousin had given a hair band to Nana for me to wear and that was really special and it didn't itch like my old one. My teacher gave me a sticker with my name on for the lady watching us called an examiner. It wasn't scary at all Mummy, Nana and Alfred were able to watch me and our teacher Ann-Marie danced with us just like a normal lesson. We danced a story about a little girl going to the beach which I always enjoy.
At the end the examiner lady gave us each a certificate. Which I love so very much!
After dancing I went to Nana's house for lunch, but I didn't stay very long because I was tired. Tomorrow I have to go to hospital for my monthly injection and to get my minty medicine (steroid)
Mum says: It was so amazing to see Alice join in with the other girls at ballet today. We have had a more normal few weeks since her blood transfusion and she has managed mornings at nursery for the last 3 weeks. Alice has also started back at dance, we really weren't expecting her to be able to join in with the exams, but thanks to her teacher Ann-Marie there she was. It was very emotional for me to see her especially considering 6 months ago she was struggling to stand from sitting on the floor. Alice has pushed herself physically and has never given into the pain and today all her effort has paid off. We could see where she is a little slower standing and we know she can't skip like she used to but she didn't stand out from the other children too badly. Today has been a good day!
