Fabulous Friday

I swear, anyone reading this blog would think I have a mental health problem...one day I can be on the brink of a total meltdown but the next day, all seems to be OK with the world. Of course, these are severe symptoms of a condition called Motherhood: the most wonderful, happy, rewarding, thankless, exhausting and difficult time of your life...no wonder we all seem a little nuts at times!  

Today, I have cakes to ice and decorate and shopping to do. I am not looking forward to going to the shops because I had planned on staying home all day...I even got dressed for the day sans bra and in daggy around the house clothes! But, when I finish typing this mornings blog entry, I'll have to make myself publicly presentable and drag the kids off to the shops (yay). Right now, they are happily playing together in the cardboard box car we made this morning so I shall not disturb them until absolutely necessary!!  

Anyway, this morning I want to share with you Sophie's first dance lesson which she attended this week. It is a class that includes dancing, singing and drama so I thought it would be right up Sophie's ally...I was right. She had an absolute ball!! In the studio, there is a wall with HUGE mirrors on it, so Sophie was in her element and glued to her reflection. There is a part in the dance where the kids all have to skip around the room but Sophie was so busy watching her reflection that the rest of the class had begun skipping around while Sophie's feet stayed firmly planted in front of the mirror! Thankfully, as the class lapped her, she was ushered along to leave her reflection and join in with the rest of the dance...twice!! Then at the end of the class, the teacher went around to each student and asked what kind of songs they might like to sing. There were a few responses of songs from Pink and nursery rhymes like I'm a Little Tea Pot, and then came Sophie's turn. "Um, Highway to Hell by ACDC". Needless to say, the teacher responded with shocked laughter but strangely enough didn't commit to incorporating a little ACDC into the classes playlist. I wonder why?

Have a fabulous Friday and an even better weekend and I shall talk to you all again next week for Motivational Monday xox
