Abacus Vs Ballet

Mama is very against the idea of Little Arielle going for ballet. I have already checked out a good timing and venue for her but she refused to bring Little Arielle for the class. She felt that dancing is something useless and Little Arielle should spend time on doing something more meaningful i.e. learn abacus cos she can use the skills for maths when she grows up. In addition, she is of the opinion that super active kids like Little Arielle should not learn dancing and should be learn something that would tame them down.

While I agree that learning abacus would help Little Arielle academically, she must also have the interest in it. Daddy does not agree that super active kids should not learn dancing. Hahaha, was so surprised with his comment.

In any case, I am not insistent for Little Arielle to learn ballet. And since mama mentioned that she has convinced Little Arielle not to go for it, I shall rest my case. Probably, should really take her suggestion of learning abacus instead :)
