Ballet

As you know, Isobel loves to swim and jump and generally be active. She has also found a new love. Ballet. She already has the gear, and loves to dress up in the tutu and shoes.

There are classes on campus which she has often seen, and imitated from the corridor, but she is too young to join them. Then, a couple of weeks ago,  whilst grocery shopping, we discovered an English speaking ballet class at the World Cup Stadium Educational Centre. So, continuing a fortnight of firsts, Isobel had her first ballet lesson.

We were a little nervous as to how dancing with the hearing aids would work out, especially when we were asked to leave the room. She did a great job and I managed to capture some extracts through a 'crack' in the door.

She fell asleep in the car on the way back. Teasing hearing aids out of a sleeping child is a feat, but we managed it. Upon waking, Isobel asked for her 'special ears',grabbed a glass of milk out of the fridge and went about her business.
