Day Out and Dance Observation

In the last few days I haven't been feeling well.  It hurts when I take deep breaths, my head hurts and my body aches.  The change in season already spikes my depression and gets me emotionally down.  It also makes me feel tired and all I want to do is bundle up under a blanket and relax.  Now I have this to deal with.  I got a flu shot last week so I'm hoping it's not from that.  I never had an issue after getting a flu vaccination before, but I do hear a lot of people end up sick afterwards.  I'm just hoping this doesn't turn into something worse.

I wanted to write a recap on my mother/son day on Saturday.  We went to the mall in the next county.  He's in need of winter clothes so I did buy him some new pants and treated him to a drink and pretzel at Auntie Anne's.  I also bought him a new Pop Figure, he collects them.  Then he played in the arcade.   It was a simple day but he and I both enjoyed the quality time.  He and I never have one on one time together so we decided to make this a regular thing.  I told him our next mother/son date would be snow tubing.  He told me he likes walking around the mall and seemed very happy with the day but I know snow tubing will be something more exciting and fun.  I cannot believe this boy will be 12 in a few weeks.

Also, last week and this week is observation week at dance.  I love getting to watch my daughter dance in her classes.  This year she's in three different classes.  Kids Ballet, Kids Tap 2, and Praise.  

Praise

Ballet

Tap

This is her fifth year of dance and she's come so far.  When I was a child I only made it five years in ballet and I'm hoping she goes further.  She definitely has the desire to.  The girl loved dancing even before she knew how to walk.
