Ballerina Savannah

Yesterday I drove down to watch Savannah in her ballet/tap dance class. First, look at this adorable picture. Cute, right?

She was so adorable, as she participated in the class. I know a lot of people do not believe in pre-school for children, but Savannah has been going for a couple of years now, and it has taught her so much. Probably the number one thing, is to be patient, when dealing with groups of other children, and not to be afraid of trying new things. One poor child, had an absolute melt-down sobbing, and what was even worse, was that her mother (stage mother) was not kind to her at all. This is not the best shot, but they kept Mommy’s and grandmothers in a room with a little TV. This was the best I could do from the little TV. Savi is in the black leotard and black skirt!

Now here is a terrible story, of a terrible grandmother. While we were waiting for class, the door was open and a mosquito flew in and landed on Savannah’s arm. I saw it, and not thinking hit the mosquito, not hard, but enough to squish the mosquito. Savannah looked at me so shocked! Oh I felt like a terrible person. I immediately apologized and then showed her the mosquito in my hand. (She is terribly allergic to them and really swells up.) So I told her she had a free one. She could hit my arm. So she did. Then Mommy explained that it isn’t right to hit people. Like I said…Oma fail!

We went to breakfast, and talked and talked. Savannah’s vocabulary is expanding every day and she is quite amazing.

Soon it was time to say goodbye and head home. We hugged and kissed, and yesterday was the first time Savannah didn’t want me to leave. That made me smile all day long and even this morning, as I write.
