Ballet

Jasmine started ballet class last week. She already rocks my world at gymnastics and now this. There is no greater joy for me than watching her determined efforts at trying new things. Learning mastery. Connecting with her body. Listening to instruction. What is more mystifying to me is how working parents manage to fit in the activities of more than one child. Seriously, I am not capable of that much sacrifice. I need time to get my own daily exercise and I know that means that Jasmine spends more time in preschool than I would like. But for me, this is not a luxury so much as it is a necessity. That means that with weekly gymnastics, ballet and speech lessons and 2 working parents, our plates are full. It's GREAT! Tiring but great.
