Bench Family: Brynlee's Turn

Brynlee's Turn

Little Miss Bryn has been growing up way too fast lately. She has such a fun sweet sass to her but I am always amazed at how sweet and caring she can be. She definitely has a tender heart and enjoys 'mothering' those around her. Sometimes this is a big help... other times I have to remind her that I am the mom and I'll take care of it.

She is learning so much at Special Start Preschool. She has so many friends, I think it's a pretty even tie on what she likes best at school... learning or socializing. Every 2 weeks they focus on a letter, color and shape, then they get to bring objects in for show and tell that correspond. She absolutely loves this and has to have something new to take every day. They also get to do gymnastics as one of their rotations during preschool. This is probably the thing I hear most about. She is always begging to get signed up for the 'real' class. One thing at a time, is what I tell her.

Her favorite part is when she got to sit in the back of the police car... where the bad guys sit.

Bryn is also thriving in her ballet/tap class that she takes once a week at the Walton Life Fitness Center. She has been chosen as "Princess for the Day" a couple times. When this happens she gets to wear a "beautiful tutu and tiarra" and stand up by the teacher the entire time and lead the class in all their exercises. They are learning the dances for their recital. They'll be dancing to a couple of songs from Mary Poppins. She comes home each week and practices her little heart out. It's quite the show to watch. She'll be in the kitchen while I'm making dinner saying; "first I do this and my hands do this, then when the songs says this, I do this and my feet do this, then when the songs says this I do this and then ....." on and on and on...going a million miles a minute. I'll be honest. Sometimes I make her practice silently. But it's so fun to watch her do something she really loves, and something she's really good at. It makes me smile.
