A Wednesday (or Thursday) in the life of my 9yr old 5th grader: 5:30am-Wake Up (Morning Bathroom Routine) & get dressed 6:10am-Leave home Take nap in car 6:55am-Arrive at destination 1. Adjust Travel pillow & blanket & resume car nap. 7:15am-arrive at destination #2 (Brush teeth again) & have breakfast. 8:15am-depart 8:30am-Arrive at school (Destination 3) 3:45pm-Schools Out 3:45-4:30pm-(Voluntary) School Ensemble Rehearsal 4:30pm-Back in the car (Pit stop at Supinos) eat cheese pizza while riding 5:00pm-Arrive at Dance School 5:00-5:15pm-change into dance uniform & start homework. 5:15-6:15pm-Ballet Class (Change dance shoes & continue HW) 6:15-6:25pm-get fitted for dance garments for Sundays Performance 6:15-7:15pm-Tap Class (Change dance shoes & continue HW) 7:15-8:15pm-Jazz/Funk/Hip Hop Class 9:00-Arrive Home, finish HW while eating a quick dinner, take a quick bath, practice piano, go to bed...ALL BEFORE 10 pm. Me: Baby, your schedule is getting really full & I know how much you love dance, but maybe we should consider lightening up your load. Her: Why? Me: Because youre only 9 & I dont want to be overworked as a child. Her: Mom, do you hear me complaining? I get really good grades, Im really good on the piano & dance is my passion. How can I be successful in something if I dont dedicate myself 100%. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices & accommodations for the things & people that you really love. I choose to sacrifice my schedule to accommodate the things that I love. Me: *blank stare* Ummm, yeah, sure. Ok, but if you change your mind... Her: *Giggling* Mom, trust me, thatll NEVER happen. Im good & Im gonna keep stretching myself to the limits until everyone sees how great I am. Me: I already see how great you are! (Insert mushy tv moment here). This girl gets her strength & energy from her mama. Im pretty sure she has an S on her chest.
