The Circus and the Weekend

Friday's Circus performance was so much fun! The whole class had adorable little acts planned, from animals rolling through flaming hoops to strong-man competitions, and even a trick/stunt tricycle rider! Many of the kids came up with their own ideas for costumes and acts, and many talked to the teachers for ideas. Apparently Kylee's best friends really wanted to be ribbon dancers, and her teachers were proud to see Kylee say she had her own idea, a cheerleader FOR the ribbon dancers. They said it was a very independent decision for our shy little Kylee! She made up a cute cheer and practiced it for 2 whole nights. When it came time for their act on circus day, Kylee stood in front of a HUGE gathering of parents, grandparents, and friends- and learned about a little something called stage frieght :) She stood there frozen, and I could tell she just wanted to bury herself behind those pom-poms! I totally felt for her, as I have never been comfortable in front of large groups of people. I cheered for the girls and after her act I gave her a huge hug, and we talked about stage frieght. She seemed happy to know there is a name for this condition that overcame her! Here are a few pictures from the Circus:
