Brady attended his first school dance. We could tell he was nervous, and he insisted that he didn't want to go. We gave him no choice, though. We rode in with Ellen, and Kate and Brady were pretty quiet in the car.
After resigning himself to attending, Brady next swore that he WASN'T going to dance. We encouraged him to relax and have fun. He had told us about being "snowballed," where someone could pay $1 to make you dance with a particular person. For $5 you could pay to get out of dancing. He was thrilled that 6th graders were exempt from snowballing.
In the end, he had a great time and even thanked us for making him go. He chose to add his name to the list of 6th graders who were willing to be snowballed. He got snowballed three times, but the first two girls chickened out. He even asked a few girls to dance! We are so thrilled with his new school, the friends he's made there, and his confidence level.
