I have been traveling for the last three weekends; visiting with family and attending functions, while it has provided me with stories and intriguing snippets, I have been remiss in blog writing.
So what to write...what to say?
Miss O is hanging with me right now. We are hanging in the basement bedroom together listening to the sounds of others while I write and she plays. Aunt Shanie is being bossy and tough not wanting each change of venue; in the toy of the moment to be left out or left to be picked up by someone else... or worst case scenario stepped on. She was frankly told if she did not play by my rules they would be removed to the garbage bin. At four she believes me, because I tossed them when she was three.
Last night we watched her dance schools production of Cinderella; Miss O and her class played the part of Summer Butterflies. The costumes were beautiful changing in every scene for the different classes and parts. Cinderella; instead of a glass slipper left behind a ballet shoe that was covered in rhinestones. The first act was long and filled with the smaller kids, who provided comical relief with their antics. Miss O was dead serious about standing on her mark and at times appeared to be on her own while the classmates hovered closer to their instructor. It took three women to manage little baby sister during the whole production.
Today we are taking the train into the city. I have had a rare Thursday and Friday off and enjoying the pleasure of my morning tea and nieces while trying to keep my feet warm writing. Taking a long weekend to come over and see Miss O's recital. She is thrilled to be the center of attention. Sometimes it is quite hard to compete with a new baby and she does it with the style and grace of a ballerina.
