"Why fit in, when you were born to standout"
That's what I think everytime my kids excel at something and are excited to try something new. like trying out a new sport or getting to go to an exciting new class where they will learn a skill or sport.
We all have different childhoods for many reasons, in my case I did not have the opportunities that Miguel and Valentina have today, which is not my parents fault (I was blessed with a very happy childhood).
And though she be but little, she is fierce!
This is the first time that Valentina has done an extra curriuclar activity or been signed up for some sort of afterschool/weekend activity. She has been asking to take a ballet class, since all she loves to do at home is twirl around and leap into the air, we thought now was the time for her to try ballet and see how she likes it. 3 classes in and Valentina is ready for her Winter recital of The Nutcracker to get here. My heart jumos with pride everytime I see her in ballet class and you better believe that I will be clapping loudly during her recital :)
"Life is what we make it, always will be, always has been"
Miguel is in his 10th season of Soccer, he's been with the same soccer league since he was 5 years old. 10 years later and he still lloves his weekend soccer games. Soccer hs thought him so much from sportsmanship, to believing in himself. He's learned that with the proper training, you can get better and be the best that you can be.
This momma is so happy to be able to provide extra curricular activites that enforce living a healthy lifestyle, it has also thought them to love themsleves the way that they are.
Love,
Kary xoxo
