I record these, so my daughter and I can watch them. I'll admit, she's done a few pageants. We don't do glitz at all...no make-up, no fake hair or teeth. She did her first national last year and got 3rd, and she was thrilled because she one a huge teddy bear. Anway, she loves to watch these shows. She loves pink and sparkles. The moms are nuts, and put way to much expectation on the kids. We had a pageant last year, and my daughter wouldn't let me put her down to go on stage. When she was done, I asked if she wanted to do it anymore, she said no, and we didn't go back the next day to finish. I'm just not going to be THAT mom. It takes the fun out for both of us. Of course, now she's back in the mood to do them after watching the shows, but what do you expect from a 3-year-old?
