today was by far the day of the holidays that miss madeline has looked forward to the most... the day she fiiiiiiinally got to go to girls without limits! we heard about the program from one of the teachers at school who we are good friends with, her daughter goes and loves it. it is to teach girls ages 8 and up about self-worth, mindfulness, acceptance, respect etc., all values that seem to often take a backseat in todays world.
they do run after school programs, but with the amount of dance maddie does, it makes it a bit difficult to fit other things in, so we booked her into one of the school holiday day programs.
the girls chatted, made clay figures, painted them, made bliss balls and a collage. madeline just loves anything arty, so she was thrilled to bits with all of the above.
as was i when i arrived to collect her and saw the gorgeous set up and how happy all the girls (including mine) looked. we will absolutely be coming back for more of their holiday programs and maybe even do some of the after school drop in ones, it looks like there is a lot of fun to be had here, with other things like meditation and yoga also part on the menu.
she didn't even want to come home... "oh good, here let me hold alex, i want to show you this and this and this." with pleasure maddie, with pleasure.
i truly hope this girl goes places in the world and doesn't see limits, she certainly has a very bright future in front of her and i am so proud of her and everything she does. she throws herself fully into everything and i am sure it will get her places. go maddie, shoot for the moon! ♥
