Now that the kids have arrived everything is crazy. Even the few who arrived yesterday after our magnificent communications training were tiring. I was passed out by 11:15. I don't think I remembered how intense and wonderful this experience is until everyone arrived this morning. Those that are returning are clearly ecstatic about it all, while others just aren't sure. That especially applies to bodysinging. We firmly believe at the YCA that singing is about the entire body cooperating. So every morning the kids move and sing and work on their breath and bodies. It's magical. Sitting here watching and listening is fascinating, and by the end of the the Academy I know they're going to be ridiculously in sync. They're going to fall into the routine of every day's action-packed schedule. For now I'm yawning my way through what will probably be the only see soon of bodysinging I can manage to wake up and participate in. Already I'm worried about some of the returners trying to take leadership positions that aren't appropriate, but like my brother said, I just need to wait and see. Much love.
