Adieu to Ballet


After two 6-week sessions of "Me and My Shadow", a pre-ballet class, Mia has decided to retire from ballet. Or more accurately we've decided she's been telling us it's not her thing. Mia only seems interested in the parts of the class that involve props such as a scarf or stuffed monkey. Even then she's only partially participating. The rest of the time she runs around noticing random things, plays with the vertical blinds, asks to be held, or finds a chair to sit on. Yes, it is very much like a toddler to do such things, but there are other toddlers in the class who are totally into it. They stretch and do all the dances and most of all they look like they enjoy it!

The video is of Mia participating in a song and dance and then deciding in the middle that sitting on a chair would be more fun.

We've signed her up for soccer in May, hoping that she will enjoy running around and kicking a ball. Maybe we'll go back to ballet later, it's good timing because she has outgrown her ballet shoes.

She just wants to supervise to make sure everyone else is doing it right. :p

Hilarious! She's gonna run the world someday, y'know. She looks very comfy in that chair in a CEO kind of way.

Isaac and Dylan got bored of their classes too. :-)
