Kendo and Ballet

I'm exhausted tonight so this is just a short note - more details to follow later, I promise! Taran and Joisan tried their activities tonight and both really enjoyed them. Taran is looking forward to getting his back better so that he can join Kendo. We are going to try and get an appointment for him tomorrow.
Joisan was a little cautious in ballet at first but she got into the class quickly and did really well. She is a bit intimidated by the fact that the dancers start on pointe very young here - much more so than at home. She really wants to do it though and so we are going to give it a try.
Sorry - no paragraph from the kids tonight but we will get on that tomorrow for sure!
I went to the Warashibe again today and it went reallly well! We reviewed all the stuff from last week and did colours and body parts as well (using songs of course!) and we're all ready to play body part bingo next week. The following week we will do some Halloween activities.
Halloween is definately not part of the Japanese culture but it is a North American holiday that they will happily adopt and participate in! The English teacher at the Chugakko is very excited to do a Halloween party for the students and we are going to be planning that next week.
Off to bed now.
