Ballet

Madelyn is settling in really well at nursery. She looks forward to going and tells me about what she has been doing. She likes the sand, play dough and playing out side. She already knows some girls there and told me this week about another little girl "with blonde curly hair" that she had played with.

 

This term they are doing traditional stories... this week was The Three Little Pigs. She told me the story on the way home. She did a deep voice for the "little pig, little pig, let me in" bit and a little squeaky one for "chinny chin" She did lots of huffing and puffing too... Very cute.

Before Christmas I had been looking at a dance/ballet type class to take Madelyn too and saw on FB that our friend Catherine's little girl had just started so we took Madelyn along for a try out. As it was her first session we were allowed to stay and watch. I doubt we were supposed to take photos but I took a sneaky few while the teacher, Miss Suzie, wasn't looking! 

    

She did really well and joined in with everything; holding hands nicely, listening really carefully, being a princess tiptoeing round the palace, being a mouse... so lovely. I also really liked the teacher... no messing in her class!! She turned to one little girl and said "Ava, the music is playing so we are not talking. And we are certainly not being frogs" Made me laugh!

After the class we went in to Harborough to meet mum and Dad. They had stopped over with us on their way home from Colin and Joyce's. It was really lovely to have them xx We had a 'coffee and a cake' in Costa. Madelyn discovered chocolate bambaccino...

 

That afternoon we talked to Madelyn about ballet and if she liked it and wanted to go again. We got a definite 'Yes' so went back to the studio, which has a shop attached, to get the gear...

Just a little bit excited!

When we got home we did a little bit of craft before we went out to Paul and Nicolas. She picked out an 'M' for herself and an 'N' for Nicole, her friend at Sue's. I found a 'J' for me so we stuck that on too.

All in all a really lovely weekend.
