Little girl 'likes'


We are thinking about what kinds of programs to enroll Addie in this fall. She will be two and a half, attending playgroup with daddy or mummy (depending on the day) most mornings as well as daycare one full day a week. I am a huge fan of teaching children how to swim as it is great exercise and could potentially save their life one day.
We did swimming lessons last year at the JCC. That would be convenient again because it is so close to the ROM - one of her favourite outings at the moment. The only thing is that she REALLY likes to dance...and sing. I am wondering if I should pursue this stream of programs instead? We do lots of this at home (you would bust a gut laughing at some of our moves), but she has SO much energy and creativity that our house cannot contain it!

Some of her major likes at the moment: princess ANYTHING, painting, somersaults, fish, canteloupe, almonds, the train set, climbing up the slide, and friends. Actually, the 'friends' thing kind of took us by surprise. All of a sudden she is pointing at pictures of people (for example, the Smith kids on our fridge) and saying she wants to go to their house to play with them.
Also, when we are at the park she insists that we stay back so she can play with her friends without our interference now. So unbelievably cute.
We just sit there with the other parents... watching her ... still completely besotted.
