Extracurriculars

All of my children have their own extracurricular activity.  It gives them a confidence boosting event, plus a talent that is not shared by siblings.



William just started martial arts this fall.  Master Will wasn't sure if he was old enough yet so he did a little test to be sure William could follow directions and had the proper body coordination.  He passed with glowing colors and all the other children and parents were a little stunned to see this shrimpy little guy come in and take seasoned wrestlers down to the floor on his first night!  William is a sweet boy but he is incredibly strong and determined.



Emily takes ballet with Ballet West Academy.  The school is directly affiliated with the company Ballet West and they get to do fall and spring performances on the stage of the Capitol Theater.  Emily has been training there for two years already and is so excited that this year she is old enough to be part of the performances.  (Ballet West won't let anyone under 8 on the stage for insurance purposes).  So, I should get to see some great stuff soon!


Esther has been taking gymnastics for the last two years.  She is a bit shy at the beginning of every new year and hesitant to move up in levels, but once she gets going she is fearless!  She is so strong and loves to be physically involved.
