since we had been away for the weekend of september 11th and 12th, today was chanda's first day at repertory and orchestra class. she has a new repertory teacher this year, and is in her second year of the beginner orchestra group. her orchestra teacher had an assigned seat for her this year: principal of the second violin section. she's very happy (she says she likes second violin better than first and is glad she wasn't moved over!) and we think it will be a nice challenge for her.
on our way to third street we were discussing the batiking we had done several years ago at my friend janet's house, and i told chanda that she had done a nice job on her shirt. she reminded me that i had worked on her shirt, and she had only done the sand! well, i guess i like the lighthouse and stars that i made.
i did some volunteer work at the street fair this morning while chanda was in class. another parent and i sold t-shirts and gave out information about third street music school. a man came by and asked how things were at the school and said his children used to study with third street when it was still on third street (it's now on 11th street!). -----
in the afternoon, greg took m and c up to fort tryon park where they and two of their friends danced for a birthday party. they had a lot of fun and the all the little girls loved them.
after the performance, the girls taught a few dances and showed the birthday party participants several dance moves.
tonight i made roasted squash, pear and ginger soup.
