cultural enrichment

through a grant from the scientific and cultural facilities district (scfd) sweet pea gets to have miss roseanne come to preschool once a week to do art, song and dance. over the summer the kids have been learning about different countries participating in the olympics. for the whole summer they have been practicing dances that are characteristic of each country and had their big performance this morning. my only glimpse into what this was going to be like, was the constant repetition of: tai..........chi. tai.......chi. tai....chi. tai..chi. (and if in your mind you begin chanting tastes great...........less filling, you'll get the jist of that routine). nothing could prepare me for this...

what would michael phelps' parents do if he just bypassed the opening ceremonies and ran into the crowd, refusing to be part of the games? sweet pea missed the opening ceremony and the passing and lighting of the (fake) torch. such a shame, tsk, tsk, tsk....but when the ribbon dance symbolizing romania started he ran right back out to participate (too bad he missed the tai chi routine).

for some reason i can't post the video footage of carter's peak performance in "the hatching egg" dance. i will work on it tonight (not at work). and will update everyone on the developing, I FINALLY GOT MY NEW CAMERA FOR MY BIRTHDAY story....you'll be waiting on the edge of your seats....
