03/09/2004 Archived Entry: "trottin' tuesday"

We just got back from riding lessons. Boy is it HOT here! Thankfully I have a nice place in the shade to sit with my book while Tabitha learns the joys of ponies :) Today she worked on trotting and various positions while doing so. She worked on staying 2 point while trotting, posting while trotting, and just regular sitting while trotting. None of that would have meant anything to me if my kid wasn't taking lessons, so I'm learning something too. Right now is our playtime before we go to drawing class. It's the last one of the session and I, for one, am glad to be done with it. Tabitha is supposed to take a toy or something so I'm guessing they'll draw what they bring. I belive the child is bringing a Care Bear.

I received the children's entry form for the LA Fair in the mail today. I'd like Tabitha to enter one of her collections because she has so many, but her idea of what to enter isn't going to get her a ribbon, which she wants, of course. But I don't want it to be completely my idea, because then it's not her entry, you know? Even though the fair isn't until September, we have to get the entry in ASAP because they accept a very limited amount of entries for the collections. There's also a pizza division that Tabitha may or may not be able to do and they're going to have a fashion show that any kid can enter, but they have to be in a cultural costume so we'll see about that one. I also know that Tabitha definitely wants to enter a drawing, but they don't have a "crayon" division so she and I will have to go over all her choices so she can decide what medium she'd like to use.

I've come to some decisions regarding her summer day camps. Tabitha is already enrolled in the one at the Natural History Museum and I definitely want to get her into the zoo's day camp as well. But I just found out that Michael's (as in the craft store) will be having an arts and crafts day camp and that is so close to home that I think we'll definitely sign her up for that. Assuming it's for her age group, of course. I also just found out that tickets for The Wiggles are going on sale very soon and I know she's dying to go see them. This will most likely be the last year we go to any of the kid shows so I really want to take her. Anyway, in light of the nearby Michael's day camp, the cost of the tickets for The Wiggles, and the fact that Tabitha will also be in horse day camp and I want her to take swimming lessons, I think we'll just skip the two Science Center day camps. So, here it is not quite Spring and we've got Summer all planned out :)
