Speaking of new friends for the twins (as I was in the last post), Ellie is working on her conversation skills with potential friends. She has a favorite “pick-up line” when she spots a nice looking girl who might like to share some goldfish crackers.
“I do ballet.”
And she does do ballet. Twenty-five minutes a week. From what I gather from my post in the hallway, there’s a lot of first-positioning and standing on the toes going on in her class of three girls.
And tap-dancing.
Which is what she loves to practice on the wood floors.
All the time.
So she has more to say to those potential friends when the first pick-up line doesn’t work.
She can also add, “I do tap.”
