Last Friday, we met up with Liz and Nathaniel at the library as there was no Friday Frogs. When Nora and I got to the library we saw Andrea with Ella and Baby Lucas. Nora and Ella started playing and choosing books while Andrea and I chatted. Our little Toots get together completed when Liz arrived with Nathaniel.

As the moms chatted, Nora started jumping about. Not the quietly jumping but seriously loud stomping kind of jumping. Ella and Nathaniel must have decided that it was fun and funny and joined in. So, we had three toddlers jumping up and down and the moms trying to shush them to no avail…

Until…

The librarian came over and told us to keep it down as the floor is not really sound proof and people down stairs can actually hear the stomping.

Oh dear… the last time I was told off by a librarian was in University and trust me that was a long time ago.

That did the trick and they stopped but didn’t stop them from redecorating the library with books everywhere.

Sigh…

Well… I’ve signed Nora up to do ballet and maybe… just maybe she’ll stop stomping around!

Yeah… I can hear you say ‘Wishful thinking…’

Anyway, a few weeks ago, we got a leaflet through the door about ballet classes. I showed the leaflet to Nora and ever since that day, there’s been a constant request to go to ballet class. I didn’t really do anything about it because I thought that she just likes the idea of wearing a girlie dress and was not sure if she would actually like it.

But a couple of weeks ago, she mentioned it again and I noticed that the class just down the main street does a free trial and I booked her in.

We went today.

And she loved it. The joy on her face when she was ‘dancing’ was enough to convince me to sign her up.

Next week, she has a party to go to but the week after, she will be starting on her class… and then I will be that pushy mom standing outside the door telling her to stand up straight and point her toes!
