Bike Ride & Park

This was our first trip outside during the summer I think.

This morning Maya's daycare had a trial ballet lesson to see if people wanted to sign up. I came and watched Maya to see how she would do. Ever since the pamphlet came home last week we talked about ballet. So the teacher took them down to the gym and was having them warm up by "flying" around like airplanes then crawling across the "desert." Maya ran around a little and then parked herself against the wall. I told her to go follow the teacher. "No." Then "Mommy's not going to pay $35 for you to stand against the wall, go dance." "No."
When it was over we walked back to the normal classroom and I told Maya I would come pick her up after her nap. Then she said," And then we can go to ballet." (ha ha). I said, "Honey that was ballet." I guess she missed that part of the lesson. :o)
Well, I'd been looking at the Little Gym in Friendwood's class schedule. So I called them up and this evening we went there for a trial class. She had a great time. I watched through the window while she ran around, forward rolled, long-jumped, walked the balance beam and generally expended a lot of energy. I was worn out just watching. So our little Maya was meant to be a gymnist for now, not a ballerina. I look forward to taking her again next week!
