Olivia has come a really long way from being very anxious around crowds (school, play dates, birthday parties, etc). She used to be so anxious, that she would spend the entire time attached to me, and also showing some real aggression. She is still shy, but I am glad that she's becoming a happier little girl in front of groups. I am not sure if she will ever be anxious-free, but that's okay because that's her personality. This week, she was in THREE shows! She didn't quite act out the parts she was supposed to during both CBS and school programs. But, I am proud of her for trying!
On Wednesday, Olivia's pre-school class at Community Bible Study performed for all of the ladies. We are so grateful for CBS.
Thursday evening was the school's Christmas program. Grammy and Papa had just flown in from TX, so Olivia was super excited to perform! We missed the last five class days due to travel and snow days, so Olivia didn't get enough practice. In this video above, she did perform just a little bit. I edited out the parts where she was standing on the bench, messing with the bench pad, playing with a girl's halo behind her, and picking her nose, ha! I think the audience had some chuckles, since she was front and center of the angel chorus.
The next morning, parents were invited to a "formal" observation and sit in on the entire class 45 minutes long. Olivia loves her ballet and tumbling class. This video is a little long, but I really enjoyed it since parents are only able to view the last 5-10 minutes of the last class of each month.
