HARLEY GETS NEW DANCEWARE
My sister just lost her job and doesn't have much of a savings to fall back on, so obviously she is watching every dime that she spends. I took my niece Harley while my sister went on a job interview last week, and she showed me her danceware. She had the cutest little outfit, but I could tell she had it for a while and it was beginning to look a little worn and tattered. I decided that since I had just got back my tax refund that I would take her to the store and get her some new danceware and some custom ballet shoes. Well, after we had her measurements done, we found some incredible items that were half off and so we picked up some incredible dance outfits and shoes. After that we decided to go to McDonalds for lunch, which was a lot of fun.
I don't have any children of my own, but having Harley in my life is a wonderful way to enjoy having kids without actually having them. A few people actually thought I was her mom, but that's okay with me. After all, she is a great little kid and we have such fun together. Having kids can be really expensive, so I think that it will be a while before I have any of my own, but I am so enjoying watching Harley grow up. She will be having a recital in just a few weeks, and I am really looking forward to it. I am actually working on a scrap book for her, that I will give to her when she is older, that documents most of the big events in her life.
When we got home, Harley put on a fashion show for her mom, and my sis was thrilled. She thanked me over and over again, which I assured her was not necessary. And the best news of all, she said that the interview went really well, and although she will have to wait to hear back from them, she thinks that she got the job and it actually will pay her more than her old one. I know that will really help them out.
