Charly started ballet lessons last week and man it was cute. She is such a tomboy and it totally surprises me that she is interested. Here she is with her best friend Elisa ready to go:
They did a dwarf dance and were practising pointing their toes and getting around on tippie toes etc.
So cute to watch and I just had to get her an outfit for the first day otherwise she would have been the only one without it.
We have also started Kindergarten gymnastics once a week which she also loves. Busy, busy.
On the 5th of September we started Kindergarten as well. She has been allocated to the town Kindergarten which is the same one that Mike went to as a kid. It only has 2 groups of 24 kids and is fantastic. They do a heap of things and this year's theme is "Children around the World". Kinda fits as she is a full-on mix of NZ/Austrian/Dutch/Russian - WOW ! Charly is in the "Sunkid" group and has two really nice "Aunties". They have a huge garden outside and as long as they weather allows it they are outside every day. Even in winter they get all dressed up in their snow gears and head off up to the nearby slopes to go tobogganing etc. The make their own morning tea once a week and last week they baked their own bread. Some kids get to go shopping and some bake and then they swap around the next week. Charly got to go shopping which she loved. They go on lots of excursions as well and the room that they have is great. They are already learning things like cleaning up after their morning tea and seperating the rubbish for recycling, proper greeting including shaking hands etc., tidying up after playing and heaps more - great !!
Here she is sitting with "Aunty Bettina" on her first day. Most days I have a problem getting her to go home with me as she loves it so much. It was an easy start as three kids that went to playgroup with her are also there and another 5 kids that she already knows through my girlfriends and numerous afternoons at the park together with all my friends and their kids over the last 2 and a half years. Really helped with starting on the first day. I was lucky I got a kiss goodbye from her.
Love Lara, Mike & Charly xxxooo
