"Tangerina Ballerina"
Heather had so much fun at yesterday's _________________Town Fiesta of _______________ county. A mass to honor the patron saint was a prelude to the festivities. There was ballroom, tap, hula dancing, tahitian dancing, lots of singing (even a version of A.I. that would make Simon, Paula, and Randy proud, and flattered), games, and the yearly traditional parade of families and costumes (to honor the traditional ___________).
Yes, it's another year to celebrate, but children have an entirely a different perspective. They certainly have a clearer understanding of what celebration should be: cheerful and fun!
Heather was so excited about her first ballet perfomrance. Her teacher Miss Naomi said, "Good job, Heather!" She thought that she had another dance that she wanted to dance with the "tap" girls. I really felt her disappointment! One dance was not enough for her! What a true performer!
"What's your name?"
"Heather."
"How old are you?"
"Four."
"Where are you from?"
"C. V."
"Do you watch wowowee?"
"Yes."
"How often do you watch wowowee?"
"Thirty seconds!"
Yup, I consider that a classic response (which is actually very true!)
Wowowee, where's your intellectual content? I would rather stick with Jeopardy or Wheel of Fortune.
The children had fun chasing and capturing the remote controlled matchbox or hotwheel cars for a $5 prize (ah, only two winners). The second game (towards the end of the program) was what I consider the "golden coins hunt". Heather just like the majority of the other children got brown paper bags with two quarters and candy. But for some reason, she charmed her way (originally, I thought she found one of the gold coins!) into getting a $5 bill.
Heather adored Janine (her friend from ballet class) as an older sister. Being an only child can make having a first friend really meaningful!
