Once Upon a Fairy Tale

Like most five year old girls I know, Miss Annie Eliza loves her fairy tales. She battles dragons, pricks her fingers on spinning wheels, goes to balls, and swims with mermaids on a regular basis. So, when her beloved dance teacher was instructing a week-long camp called "Once Upon a Fairy Tale," how could I resist?

Annie had a wonderful week. Besides just loving getting to go to dance class for five days in a row, she  got to delve into the world of fairy tales with her peers (Siri, while always willing, doesn't always exhibit the complexity that Annie wishes as they play.) On the final day, families were invited to attend a short program that the kids had put together. They combined various fairy tales (I loved that it was not Disney princesses, and that the kids were encouraged to use their imagination in exploring the fairy tales!), and Annie got to be a sheep in a spooky woods, Baby Bear -- who instead of scaring Goldilocks away, asked if she'd dance on the bed with her before flying off to Neverland, and she played a delightful Mrs. Potts, asking everyone to join in a dance with her.

Siri and I were very entertained, and I continue to be entertained by the shows that the girls are putting on in our living room. Their imagination is pretty incredible, and its so wonderful to watch!
