Things Ellie does at 5

She loves dancing and will take any opportunity to put on a show for anyone that will watch.  She is taking Ballet lessons and doing some dance moves that have surprised both Victoria and I.

In her swim class, she is learning how to breathe on her side and enjoys swimming under water.  She loves the water and will go swimming every chance she gets.  She has started a new swimming class on Saturday.  The teacher is still in the pool with them but they are swimming the long way in the pool and with very little help from teacher.

Since we live too far to walk to school, I park down the street and around the corner when I take Ellie to school.  Then we run all the way there.  There is a hill at the end but she has made it up running every time.  This running practice is making a big difference to her running as she was very slow at the beginning.
