Every child should have one thing they really feel good about. I don't mean being an Olympic figure skater...but something they just enjoy doing that gives them a feeling of accomplishment.
Something that makes them feel capable and part of things. Sports is the key for lots of kids. My boys both loved playing baseball...and during the summer, the weekly practices and games brought a busy, happy rhythm to our lives.
For Lilly -- let me see -- and 8 year old who knows all the words to about 20 Hamilton songs??
Yep -- Junior Theater Acting Classes -- HERE WE COME..!!
 |
| I signed her up for the Saturday afternoon Acting Class. |
Founded in 1951,
The Davenport Junior Theatre is the second oldest children's theater company in the United States. We've often attended the plays they put on -- but I never realized there was a whole schedule of classes. DUH, Grandma!!
 |
| We got there a little early, so the kids had time to do some coloring. |
 |
| Lilly's picture was worthy of framing... |
Warren and I were invited up to the studio to see the first five minutes of Lilly's acting class...but then we were invited to LEAVE. No problem. We went to a nearby park.
 |
| You've gotta love the age of four. |
 |
| Everything is just SO MUCH FUN. |
 |
| He played hard for 30 minutes. |
 |
| Then, he was ready to go back and get Lilly. We were both eager to hear her report. |
 |
| We hooked up with Uncle Ross for a Steak and Shake lunch. |
Lilly gave an excellent report. There were 8 kids in her acting class, and they learned about pantomime. They acted out different animals...she told us about every other child in her class.
THEN, we went swimming at the YMCA. Yes, indeed...it was THE PERFECT SATURDAY..!!
***********
MMWI: 230.0 Hey -- don't feel bad for me. I forgot to tell you that THE PERFECT SATURDAY ended with pizza and fried chicken!! It was a treat...now I'm over it...onward to NEXT WEEK..!!
