My Social butterfly

Emma has turned into quite the little social butterfly. It's hard to believe the once shy (yes, at one point she was)little girl has turned into such an outgoing, active, 8 yr old.
I can only hope that she continues to pursue the things that she enjoys.
Right now she is loving her dance classes. She takes ballet and was actually moved up a level a few months ago. She has really learned a lot and it's amazing to watch how they learn and evolve in class. This past fall she also started Hip Hop. I was a little more hesitant to put her into this class, but she is loving it. She has so much fun and is improving there as well.

Another of her interests is theater. She had really wanted to audition for a local theater groups youth production of Alice in Wonderland, but at the time of auditions she was only 7 and the age requirement is 8. They will be doing a different children's production later this year and she is hoping to be able to auditio for that one. Hopefully it won't interfere with her dance schedule.

I never thought I would be the parent worrying about my kids' schedules, and by no means am I pushing anything on her. She truly loves it and I have told her that whatever she wants to do, if it is possible, I will help her do it. I can not see holding her back if it is what makes her happy.

Oh and instead of being in Alice in Wonderland, her class is going to see it as a field trip. How cool would that have been if she was in it?!?!

For now, her next "performance" will be a school thing. She is starting rehersal today for "Putting on the Hits". This is a little talent show type thing that her school does. Kind of like a lip sync, dance show just for fun. I can't wait to see what the future holds.
