Billy Elliot in the Making!

Boy Wonder fell to sleep just before midnight and woke early. Not really what the Doctor ordered! After a leisurely breakfast and lengthily shower, he got ready for dance.

He appeared to be a little brighter today and was eating better. Cat Girl however was complaining of a sore throat and had a raised temperature.

We dropped Boy Wonder off at dance and nipped to my sister's to drop off a present for cousin. When we returned to pick him up, Boy Wonder had his ballet and theatre craft certificates. He got a distinction in his ballet exam and a merit on theatre craft! Needless to say that we are very proud and he was very pleased with himself and rightly so!

Ironically, this afternoon there was a programme on CBBC about three brothers who went to ballet. Two of them got into a dance school and one succeeded at auditions for Matilda. Boy Wonder watched with excitement, especially as they were talking about what they said if other kids laughed at them. Anyway, it appeared to get the message accross that dancing for boys is indeed cool!

We had a relaxing afternoon as Cat Girl was still under the weather and Boy Wonder was looking tired. We watched Tangled which was hard work with emotional children. luckily the thunderstorm wiped the internet connection so we had to go to DVD and this meant a lengthly run of Peppa Pig. The grandparents visited and then we watched tv before Cat Girl went to bed and Boy Wonder settled down,

I tried a few of my Forever Living products today. Aloe Gelly to soothe Cat Girl's throat which worked, omega 3 to help Boy Wonder's concentration ( will keep you posted
!) and Biker Gramps, Cat Girl and I are trying the aloe gel for dodgy guts! (IBS and suchlike.) Feeling hopeful that it works :-)
