Today was Avery's first "dance" class. It was actually a tumbling class, just a 5 week thing here in the summer. I thought it was a nice way to check out one of the dance schools. It went pretty well. Many of the other kids kept leaving the room to check in with their parents - not Avery, she hung in there. The only disappointment was that we all had a small view through the door, unless we wanted to stand outside in the heat and look in the windows.
We have one week of swimming lessons left. They have been going well and I am going to set up a round of private lessons to help her leap forward. We didn't get to go to the 4th of July parade after all, since they had it on the 3rd... and we were at swim lessons. We have had a lot of rain in the past few weeks, so we haven't gotten as much time outside on the playset as I would have liked thus far, but we have gotten a day a week at the public pool to reinforce those lessons.
Last week during our forced vacation together we did lots of fun stuff like going to Idlewild, where she still loves the train, shopping, hitting the pool etc. I have also been looking for a cat -- because Avery would like to have one. It has been a frustrating process to try and find one that appeals and get approved somewhere for adoption. We'll see what happens.
