Classes at the Condo Complex

The Condo offers kids, and adult classes. Tuesday we tried to join a few classes, but I had read the schedule wrong. The rental agent told me that soccer was on Wed and Friday, so that threw me off because soccer is really on Tuesday/Thursday. Plus it doesn't help that I can't really read it or communicate with the people in charge. 

However today we did much better!!! The only problem is that I can't figure out the ages right. Plus the locations are always correct on the schedule, but everyone else seems to know that somehow. We showed up for Games and Recreation for 5-7 year olds and the lady told Eliza that she wasn't old enough to play dodge ball. She was pretty disappointed. Then the ballet teacher told me that Gretta was to old for the 5-7 year old ballet class and told me to bring her to the next one for 8-10 year olds. 

It worked out okay in the end because Eliza and Gretta enjoyed being in different dance classes. 

They LOVED dance. The dance teacher speaks pretty good English and it was fun for the girls, but she gave them treats. 

Now they want me to buy them dance outfits. Gretta also told me that she has a recital on November 30th. 

It was super fun for them to have some after school activities and great that they are in our condo complex and FREE. 

When we got home to make dinner I couldn't get the gas stove to light and thought I had broken it, but luckily when I go in the elevator to pick Gretta up from dance I noticed the sign that said the gas was off to the building until 7:00pm and I realized I hadn't broken it. Yeah! The downside is our hot water is also heated gas, and it didn't really turn on at 7:00pm. Luckily I figured out something else for dinner. 

Gretta had a little melt down tonight about how hard it is to go to school all day in Portuguese and how much she misses her friends. Luckily by the time she went to bed she was doing better. My heart does go out to her it is a tough thing she is doing. I am so proud of her. 

The other big news is that after a trip to the mall with his co-worker and some patients and perseverance we now have a cell phone that works and has data yeah!
