Today was lots of dance and lots of Annie. I got an email today saying that J's group will need to rehearse 4 days a week now until Nationals (Mon - Thu). It comes out to 6 hours a week - plus 3 hours a week for the regular summer classes. We also found out today that their regular (wonderful) dance teacher will be leaving that studio to open her own - and won't be with them for any rehearsals this summer or Nationals. Then we found out that the owner is moving the whole studio to a larger space in a few weeks. Wow. So much stuff to take in! Annie rehearsal was a couple of hours - nothing new going on there.

J needs to get that dance essay done by tomorrow. I think she did a good job and hopefully she'll win the free year of tuition! J seemed pretty enthused about the essay. She thinks she needs reading glasses. I don't think so, but I'll get her checked anyway. It's been less than a year since her last eye checkup and that's when the idiot doctor put the idea of reading glasses into J's head. J actually said that she would like to start reading once she has her glasses. Hmmmm, interesting. I'll get her a $5 (no significant strength) pair from the drug store if that's all it takes to get her to read!
