claire's sports carnival today!

finally, it's claire's sports carnival day today.

she's to wake up at 6 am and be in sch before 6.30 am, before the gate closes on her (so reported by her to me last nite).

what's the big deal, if u might ask.

well, this yr, for the first time, she's in the dance representing her green house. it was upon invitation by another girl and it was with some consideration/ deliberation, that she decided to participate.

knowing her to be lil shy, it was a great booster for her to dance in front of pple. in fact, she was so encouraged after being openly complimented by the dance teacher-in-charge, that she suddenly turned so responsible twds the event.

yet, till tday, only joy has the luxury of watching (just once) the house dance....to me, must be those 'ra ra' dance that makes a lot of exaggerated noise.

hope this whole event will give her more confidence and bring her dance to a higher level.

well, every kid needs just that breakthrough level, right?

like how hubby put it the other day (in a comical/ sinister manner) : 要竖起大姆指！(result of his attendance of one parenting seminar with me).

frankly, who would mind being shown a thumb signal of 'very good'?
