Peace, Love & Sunburst Pageants

Mommy, Daddy & I were at the mall a couple weeks ago when we came across a flyer for a Beauty Pageant. It's not really something that Mommy and Daddy would normally be game for but it was relatively inexpensive and everyone is always telling them how pretty I am and what beautiful eyes I have so after an extensive amount of discussion they decided I could enter. Daddy had to work tonight so Grandma & Grandaddy accompained Mommy & I on our great adventure.

Sitting on Grandma's lap eating Chick-fil A for my pre-pageant dinner!

The flyer said to register at 6pm for a pageant that started at 7pm. Even after taking our time with dinner, we were ready well before the pageant was set to get started so I wandered through some stores with Grandma & Grandaddy. One store had really cool music so I entertained everyone by dancing!

Here is my first solo walk across the stage. While I walked, the announcer introduced us & said a couple fun facts. When Mommy & I walked off the stage I kept signing 'More' and pointing back to the stage. Then again who doesn't love a captive audience!

Here is a picture of my tiara, best eyes medal & my overall winner sash. I also got a trophy for being the overall winner in my age category.

Giving my best eyes medal a little smooch!

After the pageant and a quick clothes change in the food court (Mommy didn't want to get my Easter dress dirty) we went to the fire station to show Daddy what I had one. Aside from the medal for best eyes and the trophy, tiara & sash for overall winner, I also won entrance into the State Sunburst Pageant in Houston at the end of May. We aren't sure if we are going to participate in anymore pageants like this but as far as experiences go, I had a blast. Mommy and Daddy have always said that I am a "ham" and that I love having an audience... I guess this proves it (I even said 'Thank you' to the judges after I received my award)!

Peace, love & Sunburst Pageants,
Bailey
