preschool chores

So - I'm curious to know what chores kids are doing these days?
What chores do your kids do?

Ainsley has two jobs every day we get home from school:
1. set the table 
2. feed the dog

  

Of course, you never know quite HOW the table will be set...


Or what type of 'glass' you'll have your water in. (She often fills the water cups too, since she can do it independently from our fridge "tap" container.)

 Feeding Jake is one of her favorites.
She gets mad if one of us does it instead.


Sometimes she adds a chore for herself ---
serving water to the neighborhood cats.

urban dancer


 So - That modern dance I took Ains to see?  The site-specific work in chinatown?  It inspired our mini urban dancer.  Forgive me - I took LOTS of photos and love so many of them!  My dancerly eye just had to see them all up on this post.  A few samples, first, to view the source of her own impressions....



ABear went right up to these dancers, fearlessly, after the performance - to tell them what she got out of the piece.  "You were feeling sad.  and you were doing a tired dance."  She got affirmation from the artists that they were indeed portraying these emotions.  Little dance critic in the making. ??


and now ... for the STAR of our show...











I'm in love with my tiny dancer.
