Soccer- Cairo's soccer abilities and interest in the game have developed A LOT since last year. Flashback to Cairo one year ago- twirling, sitting, daydreaming in the middle of soccer games... when we could get her to play. This year, she is actively engaged and handles the ball much better. While Cairo has neither speed, nor aggression, she does have the ability to control the ball.
My little Red Dragon-
For a while Cairo has been asking us to do ballet. So, we signed her up. Her first session she spent the entire time giggling, smiling, and following along... and three sessions into it she is just as happy and excited about it as the first time. Her strengths are listening to directions and flexibility. Her weaknesses are coordination and "knowing" everything already. Coordination has never been a strength for Cairo, but it is getting better. When I watch her in class I can't help but wonder where we will be in 10 years. Will I still be sitting watching her at ballet class? I can already visualize her long slender physique maturing into an elegant ballerina... but I guess like it's every little girl's dream to become a ballerina, every little girl's mother is right there with her. Cairo's favorite part of ballet? The twirling.
Cairo is also in the first week of her first swim lessons without Mom or Dad. In fact, we sit on a grassy knoll overlooking the pool, not right next to it. She is one of two kids in her class and she loves her teacher. She says he's a lot of fun. She hasn't wanted to put her face into the water, but when she was in the bath this evening she decided she was ready and did it. In the meantime, she has been happy splashing, kicking, throwing toys, and camping out on the pool steps.
