Finley's class worked very hard on their Kindergarten Circus show. There were tiger trainers, strong kids, clowns and even a bearded lady! Finley chose a tightrope walker as the act she wanted to perform for the circus. She wore her dance costume from her first ever recital, I was amazed it still fit. She carried a lace parasol as her balancing tool. The kids had to research their act and recite a fact about it during the show.
Finley has been practicing without her training wheels for a little over a week. She gets short bursts of balance, but I (or Grandad) am usually holding the bike seat and handle bars. I think the hardest thing that I am going to have to teach her is getting started. She is learning quickly, but I think there is a long road ahead.
