Little Miss Stomach Virus

If you will remember, I posted a while back about SG being in a pageant.  Well, I just got the pictures off of Beas’ camera, so here they are.

Let me start by saying that the Princess woke up with the stomach virus that morning.  She was throwing up left and right.  I tried to talk her into staying at home, but she was having none of it.  We drove to the hotel, got her dressed, and prayed for the best.  She hadn’t thrown up in a while, so we thought we were good to go!

She sat with Granny and Wimmy while we waited, and waited, and waited.  It seemed like an eternity!  It was finally about our turn to go, and she erupted like a volcano, all over the front of her dress.  We took her outside and told her we were just going to go home.  She begged and pleaded, “But Mommy, I practiced so good!  I want to go on stage.”  She has some of her momma’s good ole’ competitiveness in her.  Victoria helped us strip her down, and off to the hotel bathroom we went.  We washed that youngin’s dress in the sink of that bathroom, and put it back on her.  She was so proud she was going on that stage.

 

  

   

She was a real competitor!  Other than the puke-stained number on her dress, you would’ve never known she was sick!

We then had to wait for them to announce the winners.  It seemed like an eternity.

She was so patient, and tired.

  

Her biggest fan! 

SG got  2nd runner up, and she was so proud of the two Barbies she got!

 

This is probably one of my favorite pictures of the two of us.  She was such a trooper and was so adamant that she finish on stage.  I was so proud of her!
