A Free Spirit!

Here is a video from Kyra's first ballet class.




A while back someone (after babysitting) said that Kyra was just a "Free Spirit". And it really does perfectly describe her! For instance, as you are walking in a store. She doesn't want to hold your hand, which is fine because usually she will stay right by you, but she will be twirlling as she walks. She is so imaginative. Its really great. Especially when we are waiting for some reason, I can pull out a pretend bowl and spoon, and all the ingredients for a great blueberry pie, and she LOVES it. And she is a little kid that eptimizes the need for the song "Shake your wigglies out". Even though she is the cutest kid on the planet, and incredibly smart and compassionate, when she is in a ballet class and the teacher tells her to hop and she decides to spin, it a little bit frustrating. Or when she is supposed to be standing up and pointing her toe, she is lying on her belly, spinning in circles, like a break dancer. The class didn't go BADLY...it just didn't go great. I think she was a little distracted by me being there, so we are going to try me just dropping her off next time. The teacher was great. She always tried to bring Kyra back in. I just...I don't know....she is such an energetic kid, that wants to go out and do things, and I feel like she really does enjoy different activites, but also worry that she's not ready.
Just a mom.....like every other mom...worrying that she isn't doing the right things....to make their kids happy.....just a mom....worrying about her little baby girl.

She looked like she was doing great in the video.
Dance is something I'll have to think about once Yuki is about 3.
I'm excited.
