Wednesday was Tabitha's first soccer class. It was hot, but she had a good time and looks forward to going back next week. I really like the two coaches, they knew how to talk to the kids on their level, yet I never felt they were patronizing, that's a rarity I've found as most adults talk down to children. This weekend we'll be shopping for shin guards as they are not allowed to play without them.

Thursday we took Tabitha to her theatre adventures class. It's for 4-6 years old in the program description, but the class was waaaay beneath Tabitha. The class right after is for 7-12 year olds so Chris spoke with the instructor to see if Tabitha could stay for the next class so we and the instructor could tell if it was more appropriate for her. When Chris went in to pick her up after the second class, Tabs said most emphatically that the older class was the one for her. The instructor said that was fine so she was switched from one to the other. She's so excited, she was given a monologue to learn and she's taking it very seriously.

Today we made a quick trip to California Adventure to try and see Hercules (we succeeded). There was an environmentality (Disney word that combines environment and mentality) event going on and we saw Jiminy Cricket. This was pretty exciting to us as he does not visit the parks for meet and greets. We saw him at a similar event last year but was not able to get close to him. This year Tabitha got his autograph and we did snap a pic, though it's not posed. We also saw Green Army Men from Toy Story but was not able to get close to them so we do not count them as visited characters.

After Disney, we had lunch and then dropped Chris off at work and I took Tabitha to Daisies. When I went to pick her up, they were flying kites! She's been wanting to do that a very long time so I'm sure she was just thrilled when she was told that's what they would be doing. She got to keep her kite too, so now we have two and can possibly go to the park and try to fly them some day.
