It is so fun watching my kids do what they love to do. Emma has been dancing now for three years. She catches on very quickly to dance routines and enjoys expressing herself in and outside of dance class. It's hard to believe she was just four when she started pre-ballet. She loves to get all dressed up and twirl around. I have also caught her practicing tap on my hardwood floors. The floors have the "character marks" to prove it. I don't know how long she will continue to dance. There are whispers that she wants to play basketball like her big sister Abbie. We shall see! I'm glad I can always look at the floors and remember my red-headed princess twirling and dancing.
Noah has started Hip Hop this year. He loves to turn up the music and strut around. I can hardly wait to see him in his recital in May. Noah can do Thriller perfectly and often performs for us. We have even see the "crotch grab" from time to time. What a site!! Noah thinks Karate might be in his future. He has played basketball as well. I know he will find his niche.
Abbie has played basketball since she was in 2nd grade. It has been so much fun watching her get better and better every year. She can swish three pointers and steal a basketball from her opponent before you even know what has happened. I love the confidence and pride I see in her when she is out on the court. We are hoping she plays for the WMBA so she can take care of us when we are old!! HA HA!!
I don't know what the future holds for them. I'm sure interests will change and they will find their places in whatever they choose to do. But for now, I will smile and enjoy every minute of their lives!
So neat to see how they all have different interests...and I love how you say that they have to find what THEY like to do. I am guilty of pushing for what I want them to do...thanks for the reminder that it is about them!
