I know I haven't written anything about our very eventful vacation yet, but I will need a good hour by myself to sit down and go through everything that happened and what we did, but I had to write about our little ballerina.....
Melanie did so great at ballet today! First of all, she woke me up at 7 this morning wanting to know when we could leave. (Ballet wasn't until 11). So then it was every 5 minutes..."Mommy, what time is it?" "It's 9:47." "Mommy, what time is it?" "It's 9:52." "Mommy, what time is it?" "It's still 9:52." It was really funny. The parents aren't allowed in the room to watch, but it's really cool because they have what they call a "Parent Viewing Room" where we get to watch the class on closed circuit t.v. It was great because it was a room with a bunch of other moms and other little kids that Meredith can play with and be occupied for 45 minutes. Watching about 10 three year olds doing ballet and tap was about the funniest thing I have ever seen on a t.v. The teacher had them doing certain moves, and then pulled out the stick ponies that you put between your legs and run around....well, Melanie loved these things, but didn't understand the "putting it between your legs part" because she had the horse by the stick and was just whipping it around the classroom. I really thought she was going to smack some of the other kids in the head. Thankfully she didn't! During the tap part of class, all Melanie did was jump up and down constantly so her shoes would make noise. She was in the back row and while they were doing their dance she kept jumping all the way in to the front row, almost knocking down some of the other ballerinas! There was one point where all the kids were sitting on their spots, and she was lying on her tummy, pretending to swim....I saw the teacher turn and told her to sit up, and I thought for sure she was going to get upset....but she did as she was told and went through all 45 minutes of the class without any problems! Her teacher, Ms. Maria, came up to me after class and told me that Melanie did a great job. I was so relieved!
I posted a picture of our ballerina.....she is so sweet!!
