ballet

Because of doing the daycare, I can't be there to watch Evelyn at ballet very often.  I got to go twice last week and I'm really impressed with her progress.  She's still a little more clumsy than the other girls, but she's working hard on getting her pesky skewed feet to do the right thing.  She comes home with sore feet, but it's so worth it.  Her legs and knees have been hurting her less and you can tell that her muscles are much stronger than last year.  She doesn't complain about having to wear a mask to class, but does sometimes complain that the water fountain is off limits and she keeps forgetting to take her water bottle with her.  They had a friend day.  Evelyn very eagerly invited her brothers to come to class with her.  I didn't think that they'd enjoy the ballet, but I took them to the acrobatics class with her.  They loved it and tried everything that the teacher asked them to do.  I was surprised that they could do half of what they did, but not surprised that Sam is not very flexible.  Seth says that he wants to do acrobatics with Evelyn from now on.  I'm not sure if they could be in the same class.  I'll have to find out.

This gem was while they were trying to do handstands into a summersalt.  Evelyn can do it with help. Seth and Sam are still working on the whole handstand thing.
