card games, swimming and dancing

Those three activities are Sasha's favorite at the moment.

She loves Ballet. She hasn't taken any classes yet, but we read books about it, watch short ballet videos, and I've taught her the basic steps from what I remember as a child.
When we go to the pool, she challenges herself with something new every time. I posted a short video on youtube of her diving down to the bottom of the pool. And another of her trying to imitate the flamenco dancer from Riverdance.

She dances in her room in front of the mirror, and even has an attentive audience:





She's a pro at Uno, Old Maid, Go Fish, Pick up Sticks, and Crazy 8s.

I'm so happy the card games are still fun for her!

Would love to know more about the new approach to discipline.

From her movements on the video, I know the exact flamenco dancer she is imitating. So cute! Hope you find a great ballet class for her when she's old enough.

What an amazing little swimmer she is!
