JOSHUA'S MOM

I just got back from watching Joshua's dance performance at school. They have a dance specialist who comes in once a week and helps them "explore creative dance."

I have also, by the way, just come home from deciding that I am going to get my arts endorsement. Oops, I have to get my teaching license renewed first in order to do that. Well, at least I have goals. (Completely random, I know, but I am also going to swim in the Senior Games in St. George someday.)

Anyway, back to Joshua. The third grade has been studying American Indians this year so their dances were centered around Indians. They created tepees, hunted buffalo, and worshipped nature through their dance moves. Joshua was true to his nature and hid in the back most of the time. He loves to participate, just as long as no one sees him...

A few weeks back the third graders put on a Pow Wow for the parents. They displayed their Indian artwork, presented us with dried food, and did some more dances. And when Joshua thought no one was watching (he didn't know I was recording, either), this is what came out. This is also how I know we are truly related...

I especially LOVED Joshua's dance! Maybe someday he'll be brave enough, as in Indian Brave, to perform in the front. In the meantime, he's cute even the back.
