All week long they had been working on the circus theme. On Monday, they brought home these darling elephant masks and Ahnalin was sooooo proud!
I think what was the coolest thing to me is that she was enjoying acting like a child. Those of you whose children have RAD and PTSD know what I mean. So often our children live their lives through the filters of brokenness, so the moments of pure childhood shine beautiful and rare. She ran around the house making elephant sounds, not caring how she looked or worried that anyone was judging her. It was so beautiful and pure.
She was so relaxed and cute I almost cried.
My little Monkey Girl wore her tutu from her ballet recital. See, it is just like a bridesmaids dress. You can wear them again!
Her cast was huge and bulky, but she could still twirl that ribbon. I had to keep her from running because she was so thrilled to be doing something somewhat physical. It got crazier from there!
There was a snake charmer!
And lions and tigers along with their tamers!
And here is the whole group of circus performers. What a darling and talented bunch!
And here is my girl with her beautiful teacher Ms. Mass. We LOVE Ms. Mass! She is even more beautiful under her clown make-up. She is a blessing to those precious children and we are so grateful that our girl has such a gifted and kind teacher.

Oh, how fun!!!! I am so glad your sweet girl was able to enjoy herself!!!! Have a great week-end!
First...she looks adorable! And like she had SOO much fun, Sivje. I kinda know what you mean of watching those moments when your child is just able to be a child....no apprehension, pure explicit joy! Praying for lots of those days for Ahnalin!
I love the kindergarten circus idea. What a great teacher, and I'm sure the kids learned a lot too. Annalin looks beautiful in her tutu.
Just like a bridesmaid dress! BwwwaaaaHaHaHa! That one made me laugh out loud.
An impressive amount of work and talent went into making the circus! I'm sure it will be a cherished memory for your little Monkey Girl!
