Dance!
Since early February, Alyson has attended dance class. Every Wednesday, we venture over to the studio for a tap and ballet lesson. There are only three other girls in the class; which keeps germs to a minimum. (Miss Michelle, the teacher, is a hand sanitizer fanatic. I love her.)
This class has been the best thing in the world for Alyson. She asks, beginning on Thursday morning, “How many days until dance class?” The exercise, friendship and escape-from-Mom have been invaluable. She’s growing up and learning how to be a kid again.
At practice today.
The other parents have been quite supportive and encouraging. One little girl, Natalie, is now Alyson’s best friend in the whole world. They hug when they see one another and have been on several playdates. This Mama couldn’t be happier.
Life is good and I am grateful.
PS To our local friends – the recital is on May 22nd. You are all invited & I’d be more than happy to spring for tickets if you’ll come and cheer her along.
