(with her most favorite teacher ever (pre-K), Ms.S- dinner out at a local pizza dive)
(her "how to train your dragon" pose- she conquered 2 stunts she had never tried, now for another... )
I have no idea who set up this tiny little play area downtown, but it seems each activity was especially designed to work your core strength and balance. She was intimidated at first, even sitting on that last "wheel", but soon realized she is so much stronger than she realizes. Interesting that climbing up that precarious (wiggly) "slide" she conquered and did twice, but she only lasted a few seconds sitting and turning - guess she's a bit like me and doesn't enjoy getting dizzy! Hanging? Heh. No brainer. That kid has arms of steel I tell you.
Of course, the bestest part of our weekend was dinner out with Ms. S and M (ha! maybe should have reversed that), 2 of her most cherished teachers from her first elementary school. You would have thought we'd taken her to Disney for the first time- and that's what I love so much about our girl. She wouldn't blink an eye at Disney. For her, it's all about the people that mean the most to her. THAT'S what rocks her world.
