Wednesday was Storytime at our local library. We've been attending Storytime for a little more than a year, moving from the Toddler class to the Preschool class a year early on the teachers suggestion that Loren would probably fit in nicely with the more mature group as the Toddler class had a number of kids that had a hard time sitting still and focusing on the story.
Normally Loren sits quietly during Storytime, attentive, but with minimal active participation. She's usually tentative to join the group of kids without a short warming up period and regularly checks in with me throughout the hour class. This week however, she didn't even hold my hand walking into the room. She immediately ran into the group and began excitedly chatting with the teacher and other kids. Then during the stories, she was the first to answer the teacher's questions about the story, she did all of the motions to songs, and even sang most of the words to the songs.
The only thing I can attribute this change to is her experience in ballet class on Monday. I look forward to seeing her develop independence as we progress in our studies and community classes.
