I just love her little ballet outfits and from the video, it looks like she minds the teacher just as much as the rest of the kiddo's do:) You definitely have to keep us updated on when her first dance recital is - those are the best!The Riley'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01170506843222372407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494622343156375527.post-84363674317610878872008-09-27T21:01:00.000-07:002008-09-27T21:01:00.000-07:00SOo cute!

You're doing an awesome job with her and I am so lucky to have you as a 'mom' friend. :)The Priceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06136871600417035328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494622343156375527.post-57553426277976395762008-09-27T13:23:00.000-07:002008-09-27T13:23:00.000-07:00this is so cute Becca! hopefully Shay can begin t...this is so cute Becca! hopefully Shay can begin to join her in some of the parks and recs classes soon!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494622343156375527.post-38055440479474234322008-09-26T04:42:00.000-07:002008-09-26T04:42:00.000-07:00Carolyn is taking a little dance class this fall, ...Carolyn is taking a little dance class this fall, too. I think the problem you described above is the reason they don't allow the parents in the classroom! This bothered me at first because I want to watch!! But you throw a different light on the subject- I think if I did watch, I wouldn't be able to help comparing. It's a common ailment of all parents. You (all parents) think your child is the very most wonderful thing that ever happened to this world, and you're anxious for her to demonstrate this to everyone else. It's horrible, but sometimes in situations like this, I realize that what is really bothering me when she doesn't "perform" is the reflection that sends on ME. I have always wanted to do my BEST and have whatever I'm associated with be perceived by others as truly excellent. Raising a child isn't really like doing a really awesome job at work or in school- there's a whole other human being involved with her own assets and liabilities- and how and what she does is increasingly an expression of HER, not me- because she is her own person. I've thought about this a lot when I've had moments like you've described with Kiley. I feel glad to have noticed this tendency when my child is 2, and not have been blind to it until she is 12 or older! I could so easily damage her wonderful self by counting on her to make ME look good. Yikes! <BR/><BR/>Anyway, lots of rambling. Kiley looks adorable in the pictures!! We have a parent observation day in November; I can't wait to see Carolyn actually DOING the dancing stuff. She talks about it a lot and loves it. Just seeing her in the little outfit is worth the price I had to pay for the class! :) Yet another reason I'm so glad to have GIRLS! :) <BR/><BR/>Hope all is well with you guys!<BR/>EBEBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07409108791617939324noreply@blogger.com
