Baby Goes International (Finals)

Baby goes International (Finals)

Aeris won champion for the baby goes international and represented Tampines North CC to proceed for the finals.

We received a letter informing us on the venue and the theme for the finals. Parents were to dress up their child in international costumes and perform on the stage. We started sourcing for costumes and finally decided we will dressed baby as a belly dancer!

My mum made the top, bottom and the headband and we bought a hip scarf, some accessories and a pair of pretty shoes.

On the 24th June 2012 morning, we do the final preparation and got Aeris to nap in the afternoon before the contest. The contest was held at Marine Square and we were told to arrived half an hour earlier for registration. We arrived there at 5pm, did a registration and took some finger food at Burger King. half an hour prior to the contest, we brought baby to the nursery room to change into her cute belly dancing outfit. We then proceed to the contest area. The place was crowded with audiences and cute babies! Aeris was competing with 26 babies and they were were all champion of their community centers! Competition was a tough tough one. The thing that came to my mind was, 'will my Aeris stand a chance'?

CUTE!

When it was finally her turn,  I requested a lively pop song, so i can encourage baby to dance however she wasn't dancing. Aeris was busy walking around (Still need some support), using her index finger pointing at the balloons or judges (LOL). I hold the baby facing the judges and shake her tummy and butt and body, everyone laughed because she was chubby and when she shook showing her little tummy it was extremely cute!

They only allowed 30 secs performance so there wasn't much we can do really, but any longer wasn't going to be interesting either.

Around 7pm, it was the time to announce the winners. Consolation prizes were given out first, and I had that strange feeling that Aeris might win the top 3. And YES! She won the 1st runner up!

It was a memorable moment. Aeris the lucky stars has won herself a $300 cash for being the 1st runner up. Congratulation darling, mummy is so proud of you!
