circus school

Yesterday evening, Johari and I went to a performance by the staff of the School of Acrobatics and New Circus Arts (SANCA). Johari is super excited about this place because she is going to start taking a class there in a few weeks. She likes to tell people about how she is going to be going to Circus School soon. She even has her own box of tissue as her "school supplies" because she might get a drippy or sweaty.
The show last night was great fun. During the intermission, Johari was doing flips while hanging from my arms and reenacting the tight-wire act on an old railroad track outside. After the show was over she asked me, "Do I start circus school tomorrow?"
This morning, she woke up and started doing standing balancing acts on my shoulders.
When she tells people about how she is going to circus school, she makes it sound as if she will be performing for an audience the whole time. She talks of how they will need to get a ticket scanned to come and see her at the school. I love her enthusiasm for this!
This will be her first class on her own. When I asked her if she is ready to take a class without me, she confidently let me know that she did not need me and that she can do this on her own. She is a big 4 now.
