Spring Dancing

So this spring brought to our family Vans first solo dancing opportunities. She did an amazing job and showed everyone her amazing spirit and determination. She took 3rd place in one competition and Queen (first) in her other one, but most importantly she had a great time and has made some long lasting friendships in the process. Now what did I learn from this? Well first and foremost I learned that high school gyms do not have ergonomically designed bleachers. I also learned that you should take treats and drinks yourself even given the fact that the $2.00 can of soda did taste fantastic. But mostly I learned that these kids of ours are amazing and resilient and that they will teach us to love life as they do if we will only listen!
