today is a tuesday
Jun. 2nd, 2015 09:45 amThe construction dudes outside my office window are busy, busy, busy. I'm kind of jealous of them because at the end of their day, they have something to show for it. I just manipulated a bunch of pixels and bits.
I think that's why I love crafts so much. I'm relaxing (sometimes), but I have something to show for it at the end. I like getting the "You *made* this?!" reactions, too. Someday in the future when we're all hard-wired into the internet, I want to still be one of the people who make useful and/or decorative things without 3D printing.
Dance class last night was brutal but enjoyable. The new choreography is to music that's majestic and magnificent. The intro sounds like the dancer should be carried onto the stage on a litter by strapping young men. It's that kind of old-school pomp and orchestration. Lovely, yet difficult to live up to.
I've signed Emi up for dance lessons at last. It's a 6-week summer session of Fairytale Ballet. Once the registration goes through, I'll call the studio to get her signed up for her free intro to ballet class. *IF* she likes it, we'll consider signing her up for "real" ballet in the fall. This summer, Emi has swimming lessons three mornings a week, softball Wednesday afternoons, and now ballet on Tuesday and Monday evenings. Super busy girl.
Emi's super excited about swimming lessons - she LOVED them last summer. She's also excited about softball - she's been dragging Daddy outside every afternoon to practice throwing and catching. She's gone from dodging the ball to catching balls in the air! She *wants* to put in the extra time to practice for this, which is totally cool. She doesn't know yet about the dance classes. I figure this can be a surprise for after Kindergarten Graduation.
Ox has some summer school scheduled. Instead of 4x/week, it's down to once a week. We're to keep doing the things that we're doing and to work harder on potty training. He'll get to go swimming, since we have a family pass, but swimming lessons start for kids who are 4 at the beginning of the summer, not the end. In the fall, we'll discuss signing up for soccer. Just like Emi two years ago, we don't know what Ox will want to get into. He may love soccer or he may hate it. I just want to give them both the opportunity to try new things to figure out what they love.
