N. had to make a choice.
We don't want to overschedule her, or be those parents running around from class to class and never giving anyone a chance to just be, just relax as a family. Still, I also want to give her a chance to try out the things she's interested in. Then again, how much can you trust the request of a toddler to be more than a passing phase? I listen to what she says, and I believe she knows what she wants. But when you have to prioritize...
The point is she asked to go to ballet *and* gymnastics, and we agreed on a trial basis. We tried it out, but the schedule was getting to be too much for me and her during the week. I asked her to choose one.
She chose gymnastics. So it's goodbye, ballerina.
