Oh yeah, the girl has a pretty busy extra curricular activity schedule, Are you ready?
Let's see, besides her preschool classes from 9-1 everyday, she has Phonics tutoring every Monday and Wednesday. Tuesday she sees Miss Kim for speech and language, Wednesday she has tennis, Saturday is dancing class. You think that is too much for a four year old. Well, according to Elizabeth, she is not doing enough. She wants swim lessons and violin lessons. She is pretty intent on the violin lessons--she even declared that once her piggy bank is full she is going to buy a violin.
Actually her schedule is not that unusual for a four year old these days. Some of her friends have even busier schedules. And a number of her buddies from China are taking some pretty intense Chinese classes. We have been holding off on that since Elizabeth started speech so much later owing to her hearing so we are making sure that she has English totally under her belt before we launch her into Chinese. Besides that I want to learn alongside her and I don't think I am ready for that yet! Marty thinks I am crazy and claims no one can learn Chinese unless you speak it at home...but heck even if she gets a few words under her belt that will be something. And I do think it is important that she feels a connection to her heritage. Marty would argue that I don't speak a word of Gaelic. Tis true!
There is also playground near her tennis class...so she does take time off to relax on the cute little boat they have there.
