Dancing Machine

Monday night Avery had her first official dance class.  There was an hour for the combo class, which included tap, ballet, and a bit of tumbling/movement and a half hour immediately after of tumbling.  There was prb 13-14 kids in the first class and like 6 of them in the second.

She seemed to really enjoy it and was pretty hyped and energetic when we left.  This week we will continue to practice eagle rolls, straddle rolls, first and second position, and a bit of toe/heel stuff.

School is struggling to find someone to do their school photos.  The place last year wouldn't allow the teachers in the room when taking the photos, which -- beyond being creepy and inappropriate -- meant that there were a lot of sour/serious faces because the kids didn't know these strangers in face masks.  I guess they even cut off a few kids heads in the photos.  This means photos are delayed at this point, and hopefully not postponed until spring.

First Friend Party Attended

Avery attended her first kid's birthday party this past weekend.  It was for her best buddy, Luke, who joined her in the "4" club (officially today).  There were a couple of other kids there and they had a blast.

Once again school was closed at the end of last week.  We had a text message first thing on Wednesday morning - once again a parent tested positive.  It resulted in school being closed on Thurs and Fri too.  Today she returned, along with the dictator rules from the state forcing them to wear masks all day.
