- They're not making us wear that.
- That's what she's supposed to be wearing.
- No we're not!
- (laughs) They made me buy this.
Let's see what it woulda looked like.
It doesn't even look like it matches,
I don't think.
- You're not supposed to wear it.
- It's supposed to be a beard.
(laughter)
(light rock music)
Hey everyone,
it's We Are the Davises,
today Kayla is doing the Nutcracker.
- So I am going to be doing a dewdrop doll
and Chinese variations, Chinese corpse.
- So we don't know if we're gonna be allowed
to video any of it, unfortunately.
I'm not sure,
but with a little bit of luck
maybe Kayla will give us a sneak peak after I do her hair.
- It doesn't look the same.
- (laughs) She's worried it's gonna look silly,
but I just wanna see it.
I just don't know if we're gonna get a video of it.
And I think it would be really cool
to watch her try to show her part.
But for now, we gotta get her hair done she's.
- No.
- She's being difficult.
- Mom.
Let's do my face.
- So let's see,
we gotta do her hair in a way
that it has a flat bun on the back.
And then I have to put a clip over
the top of that with curly, little curly Q's.
- No, no you don't do that.
- Yes, they said you're doing that first, right?
- All my friends said they didn't buy one.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- Okay, well we're gonna show them anyways
what it looks like,
because there's this ponytail
she's supposed to wear in the back.
They said she's supposed to be wearing it
and they made me buy it and we're gonna show you.
- None of my friends bought one.
- Okay, well we'll see.
- They're not making us wear that.
- That's what she's supposed to be wearing.
- No, we're not.
- (laughs) They made me buy this.
Let's see what it woulda looked like.
It doesn't even look like it matches, I don't think.
- You're not supposed to wear it.
- It's supposed to be a beard.
(laughter)
- Look, they go bing bing.
Bing, bing, bing.
(laughter)
(hissing)
(bright music)
- Oh, yeah.
(laughter)
(bright music)
- She's got the perfect hair going there.
- Boo.
- Smooth helmet head.
Knock, knock, knock, knock.
- Have a lot of hairspray.
- Now she's gotta go put some makeup on,
it's really light.
They don't do it as bold as they did in Cheer.
- No, 'cause it's not...
It's different.
- I would think that you would still do it
just as bold because you're gonna be on a stage. But...
- They want pink lipstick instead of red. (laughs)
And they don't require eyeshadow this time.
They don't require blush,
but they want us to put mascara and eyeliner on.
- Okay, and you have your leotard on.
- Yes, I do.
- She has like a nude leotard
- It has clear straps.
- Yeah, and it's nude colored,
because it goes underneath all their costumes.
- And you don't want it to show if like.
- Show us a couple of your moves.
(Kayla shouts)
You can do it.
And then you're just taking this with you still,
because I don't trust--
- It like a spider.
I like going like this, ready, ready,
boing, boing, boing.
(laughter)
- [Mother] What you got for moves?
- Okay, I'm the second ripple so--
[Mother] What are you doing?
- Nothing.
- Okay, so we go on like this, do do do do. (laughs)
- [Mother] Try it one more time,
I only got your head there.
- Okay. You go, do do do do.
And then you bounce like a doll.
And then their group goes and then you go
da, da, da, da, da.
And then I do this so, hang on.
- [Mother] So you're a doll at this point?
- Yes.
And then you kiss.
And then you go up and down,
up and down,
and then you do a turn.
Wait, I'm trying to remember which way.
It's this and then you kiss again.
Straight to our picture,
there's two girls here and then I have a girl next to me.
And we go like that,
we kick our leg up behind us.
So we go like that, we hold it.
And then we go into our splits like this
and then you go like this.
And then we go back.
And then have like a kind of mini-stunt
where she goes up and goes like this
and then she kicks her leg up.
And then we bring her back down
and then we get ready for the next move.
I might need more room for this 'cause it's a leap.
You go da, da, da, da.
And the we do another leap,
but I don't have room for that. (laughs)
And then we go like this,
then we go up,
then you go do, do, do, do, do.
- There's a lot of this.
- 'cause we're dolls.
And then you go here and then one two, kiss, kiss.
And then we (laughter)
- [Mother] Cool.
- That's the dewdrops
- [Mother] That's the dewdrop dolls.
- We do a lot of walking like this. (laughs)
- [Mother] 'Cause dollies don't have leg joints.
- We don't have joints.
- We don't have knees.
- Except for when we're kneeling down. (laughs)
- [Mother] Then all of a sudden a knee bend.
- All of a sudden we have joints again.
(Laughter)
- [Mother] And what about the other one?
- Chinese would look really stupid
without everyone else so
I'm not going to do that one.
Because you spin an umbrella.
- [Mother] Oh.
- And then we go one, two, three, four
five, six, seven, eight,
and then do it again.
Five, six, seven
- [Mother] I wonder if I have an umbrella.
- Three, four, like all of it
is with an umbrella so.
- [Mother] I'm going to find that umbrella
hang on.
- I'm using this umbrella instead of the actual prop.
One, then you go one, da, da, da,
then you go
One, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight.
One, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, then you do it again.
Three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
- [Mother] The dogs are enjoying it.
- Five, six, seven, eight, and then you step up
you go one, two,
three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, oh wait, yeah
yeah, one, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
And then you go do, do, do, do,
ten you go ba ba-da da da-da da,
then you go do, do, do, do, do.
Then you go up, up.
Then you go here, this one's a lot shorter.
And then we go like this, and then
we run in a circle like that.
And then when we get to end, you go ba.
- [Mother] Nice.
[Kayla Laughs]
- Ta da.
- Now my turn, wait, wait, wait.
- Now your turn.
- [Mother] And Tyler's coming with us
to go watch the show.
- Tyler's going to recreate.
- You have to tell me what to do.
- [Kayla] No you don't, just do what I did.
[Kayla Laughs]
- [Mother] Okay Tyler's a natural.
Ta da!
- [Kayla] No, no, no.
- [Mother] You'll break it.
- [Kayla] No. No you broke it.
Do you not remember this?
[Laughter]
- [Kayla] Now do dewdrops.
- What?
- [Kayla] Yeah just walk like this everywhere.
[Mother Laughs]
- Recreation of dewdrop dolls.
- As fun as this is,
we've got to go get Kayla to her practice,
because she has a rehearsal before the show.
- Oh I can't wait. (kisses Kayla)
I'm so excited to see your show I can't wait.
- [Mother] Yes.
- I'm going to be inside.
- [Mother] Good luck.
Daddy's love and kisses are the best man, they rock!
- [Mother] Don't break a leg or anything,
good luck.
[Kayla Laughs]
I know in show business they say
"Break a leg" but you know what?
Last time someone said that I actually
did break my leg so.
- Yeah don't do that, no, yeah.
[Mother Laughs]
Just be the shining light of the show.
- [Mother] We're going to drop off
Kayla right now and then we'll see
her hopefully in just a few seconds.
- [Father] Bye bye baby boo!
- Bye!
- [Father] I love you!
- Mwah! Okay let's go, slap! (laughs)
- [Mother] Show me which outfits are yours?
- These gold like sparkly ones.
- [Mother] Oh that's pretty.
- And then we have these
for Chinese
- [Mother] Chinese variation right here.
- Yes, you can see the pattern.
- [Mother] Those are pretty.
- Yes. I have ones, mine looks more like this,
which is the uglier version!
- [Mother] No.
[Kayla Laughs]
- And then these are our flower clips for Chinese.
- [Mother] Chinese variation flower clips.
- And then here these are our bows for dewdrop dance.
- [Mother] Dewdrop bows.
- Yeah.
- We're heading into Kayla's recital, so.
- I can't wait, I've never actually seen her dance.
Like I know I've dropped her
off for practice we come and pick her up.
But we're not really allowed to watch or
I think we are allowed to watch, we just
never have because we're always so busy
just doing everything.
But we're pretty excited to see what she can do.
How about you?
- Yes totally. How about you Ty?
- I'm here. Yeah.
- [Father] I'm here.
[Laughter]
Present, with his hand like (waves hand).
- It should be really good it is the Nutcracker
and if any of you guys have seen the Nutcracker,
if you have comment below.
Kayla and I have been to the play several
times so I'm expecting this is going
to be very similar, except for this time
she's in it instead of watching with us.
- Even better than the real Nutcracker.
- So if I can capture something
I will show you, if we can't
then you got to see her at least
show you her practice moves at home.
Yeah we'll just see how this goes.
- Cool, let's do it.
(upbeat theatrical music)
- The dogs are smelling the flowers.
- We just Kayla back home from her dance
and it was, the Nutcracker was amazing.
- It was so cool.
- You guys have to watch the Nutcracker,
if you haven't seen that play, go.
It is such a beautiful, beautiful show.
- You know what makes it even better?
Watching Kayla do it.
- Yeah.
- That's like the best Nutcracker ever.
(Mother laughs)
It was awesome.
- She did so good, she got some beautiful flowers
for being such a good dancer.
- Yeah.
- Did you have fun?
- It was really fun.
- Yeah.
- We got to hang out and just play around
while we waited, so I connected with
some people some more, so it was really good.
(Laughter)
- So yes you make friends,
you do bonding when you do stuff like this.
Very encouraged.
- Yeah.
- But anyways it's late, the show went on
for about two and half hours and so.
- It went on for longer than it was supposed to.
- Forever!
- It actually felt like it went by pretty fast,
it was really entertaining.
Everybody was dressed so beautiful I can't,
I could go on and on and on.
(Laughter)
I can't say enough about how awesome it was.
But anyways it is almost ten o'clock at night
so we've got to get ready for bed.
I'm going to get her hair washed and everything,
she's fully hair sprayed.
- Super crunch, that's like a helmet.
- Yeah, she's got helmet head.
Do you have a question of the day?
- Hmm, I don't know.

- Yeah. Have you ever been to the Nutcracker
or seen it on TV maybe? Because I think they do it on
Christmastime they do it on TV too.
