So, Daniel's latest thing is dance. Now, I don't push things on my son. I encourage him to explore and nurture his interests, but I don't force him into extra activities because I think they're what he should be doing. In December he started bugging me ferociously to take tap dancing lessions. I put him off and when he was still harping about it a month later, I figured he was serious. So, we headed off to the dance studio to enroll.
He is now the only boy in the entire studio and loves it. He is taking tap and ballet in a combo class. All the girls fight over who gets to be his partner. He has a whole new bunch of friends. And I'm sure the fact that he gets to bang around in really noisy shoes doesn't hurt either. The other mothers look at me a little strangely - the ones who drag their little girls in every week decked out in pink frilly stuff - I really don't think they believe this is his idea.
Daniel has also decided that performing is his thing. Well at least for now. He wants desperately to be on stage in a play. He was in one last year and loved it. Well, there aren't a lot of parts for wild four year olds, so we sent his info out to a talent agency and he got an audition call. His audition must have gone well (they wouldn't let me watch), so now he officially has an agent. What can I say. He's a mess, but I love eery minute of it. :)
