It's a Dance

I would just like to say, to Little Z.

Larry & I went to see her perform in the Highfield School of Dance Summer Show at Cantell School on Sunday and we thoroughly enjoyed it. She was a field mouse in the story of "Snow White and the Eleven Dwarves.

Although we have to pay out a lot of money for extra rehearsals, costume hire etc., it is worth it when we see the enjoyment she gets out of performing. I admire the way she dances on the stage in front of hundreds of people without any sign of being nervous.

I am now saving for the next show!

She passed !

Little Z has been waiting for 6 weeks for the results of her Primary ballet exam. Today the phone call from the ballet teacher came. She passed and apparently was only a couple of points off getting a merit. I'm so pleased for her. She worked very hard to practise for the exam. She can now go into the Grade 1 ballet class which means I don't have to get up early on Saturday mornings any more as she will go on Wednesday evenings. I will probably still be at work when she has to go to ballet, so PP will have to collect Little Z from school, Big J from nursery, feed them both and get Little Z to ballet class all on his own. As husbands go, he is actually very good at helping around the house (actually, he does most of it and I do the helping) and at doing the "dad" thing. However, I feel a few stressful evenings coming on!

Well Done Little Z !
