Sounds like Mini Chick has a lot of cultural opportunities out there along the River....she'll make Mom proud!
You know... I was really hesitant to agree to move here because I was afraid that being in such small town, there wouldn't be a lot for her to do. But there's a surprising amount. In her music class, she's learning how to read music and is experimenting with pitch/volume/rhythm and she's being given opportunities to perform. She's been in ballet for 1.5 years now and picks up tap and hip-hop this summer. She has been in gymnastics for nearly 3 years now. She can take art classes. League bowling, tennis lessons, golf. She's playing blastball right now, which is like t-ball but with softer balls and bats for the younger crowd. She did soccer all last fall and basketball earlier this winter.
So... we stay pretty busy. She gets a good mix of activities (including great programming at our library). We don't do everything, of course, but there's more than I ever dreamed possible.
Sorry, OP, for hijacking your thread.
Oh, and to answer how she did today: She was the only singer who didn't get quiet. She was announced and then her teacher was missing and she said, "It's okay. I can do it by myself." She then proceeded to go up to the microphone and belt out Take Me Out to the Ball Game." Then when it was time to switch and sing Pop Goes the Weasel while playing her triangle, she started to sing Take Me Out to the Ball Game... two more times. LOL. But she was cute and had fun.
