My Coworker

We had a massive storm here which resulted in the daycare being closed due to a power outage.  I had a massive deadline, so I had no choice to work from home in the morning.  This guy was a complete angel.  He watched Peppa Pig on the Ipad, had a snack and played with Play-Doh.  He did seem pretty relieved when daycare opened in the afternoon and I was able to drop him off.  But I enjoyed him so much.

Dance

It's no secret I really wanted to take dance when I was a child.  I wasn't particularly athletic and I think I could have actually participated, instead of warming the bench in most sports I played.  We had one small (expensive) dance studio which my parents considered for the elite (they definitely suffered from an inferiority complex) and really didn't have the money.  I hoped victoria would like dance, and so far she seems to.  (By the way-  it is the cheaper eat activity we do, by far).  I get the shoes secondhand and we go to a non flashy dance studio.  

Last year she took ballet and jazz.  This year is tap and jazz.  She had a dress rehearsal yesterday.  The theme is Disney so it is pretty cute.  

So am I upset with my parents?  Yes.  They let their insecurities get in the way of something their child wanted to do.
