I...RE: little girls dancing; check out my FB page.<br /><br />I love doing "kid stuff" w/G. It sure as hell beats the real world: bars and parties and staying out late included. Nowadays whenever I hear some younger colleagues complain about the lack of sleep from staying out late/partying, I laugh and extend no mercy. <br /><br />We live in an apt. and so when G goes to bed, we basically shut down everything; there is no room for us to "go downstairs and put on a movie" or continue w/our lives really...we become shut-ins in our bedroom and watch Netflix or Hulu. But it's good like that; I wouldn't have it any other way. There's a sense of comfort in that.<br /><br />G is good about going out; always was, always behaved herself, never had a meltdown, EVER, so I know I am extremely lucky. I mean EXTREMELY LUCKY. Her "terrible twos" were nothing; she was unbelievable, and continues to be...and still I don't drag her around w/me; I cater to her needs, to her interests. Makes for a nice, smooth night.<br /><br />Wish I was there w/Sly and you guys; or rather, wish all of you were w/us watching Dan Zanes---he does great tunes from the great American Songbook which, somehow, appeal to kids (think Dylan, Seeger, etc.).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2321442185716517984.post-42727712531709205072009-07-19T16:40:12.191-05:002009-07-19T16:40:12.191-05:00That reminds me I need to post this video of them ...That reminds me I need to post this video of them dancing when we were in San Antonio last month. Concerts like that we can do. No one minds the noise & my kids LOVE it. Maia kind of dances like ELaine from Seinfeld, if you remember that episode, but it's okay. She loves it!! The video is priceless. I could not help laughing the whole time and it was good laughing. And Sean loves music & dance-- it's one place his communications delay does not impede him at all. <br /><br />The gym went fine until we had to go. They didn't have the right kind of shoes (Sean won't wear anything but his Cars Crocs) and the head-desk-monkey in charge wouldn't let us stay on the track (cause you know, it's so dangerous to walk in crocs....) And Maia had one of her nuclear meltdowns. I still haven't completely recovered from it, exactly, but I'm the grown up so I will. <br /><br />But we won't be going back there very soon, to be honest. <br /><br />Ugh. :)kim wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11220371428805781236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2321442185716517984.post-74372671869539773952009-07-19T10:39:09.789-05:002009-07-19T10:39:09.789-05:00Good luck at the gym!

There were two little girls in particular who were adorable. Those kinds of settings just seem letter perfect for kids- and there was a lovely little special needs girl spinning herself silly in one part of the dance park- she just kept spinning and spinning and falling down, and laughing. The music was loud enough to keep their screaming and playing illegible and unheard. It was lovely. Wish you guys had been there with us!slyboots2https://www.blogger.com/profile/11983558264501237649noreply@blogger.com
