Nicholas goes to the Ball


Nicholas got all dressed up and went to his first "ball" thru cotillion. He wanted me to come pick him up early because he was sure that he would not have a good time. When I arrived he was dancing and appearing to enjoy himself so we stayed until it was over. The kids were all in a big circle with the boys on the outside and the girls on the inside so they could switch partners at intervals. The dances were all led by the teacher so it was not just free dance. One activity was that the instructor handed a styrofoam ball to all the boys (I'm sure they were thinking they were going to get to throw them at girls) but they had to dance with their partner close enough that the ball stayed pressed between their foreheads while they foxtrotted.
