Bragging Mama

I have two very amazing children! I love them both and think no one can compare. I know we all feel that way about our children, and can accept that we are all delusional that our child is more special than another. We are all special children of the lord, and created for a special purpose. It just makes my cup over flow to see a child of mine realize what her gift is and dedicate herself to it. It even makes me a little teary eyed (yep me, who could guess?) to see others recognize her gift.

Josie lives to perform! She will take every opportunity to dance or sing. As her mother I see her give her heart into every performance. I support and believe in her, hoping that others are touched by what she puts into it too. Don't get me wrong the fact that she sings all the time, or she dances instead of walking can be disturbing and annoying, but that is just who she is. In the last year she has grown so much I almost don't recognize her. She is becoming a talented young lady and the community that we live in is starting too see it too. I have been approached many different times complementing me for her talent in both dancing and singing. Like I ever did anything to deserve the complement. God gave her her gifts not me, but not all see that. But back to my bragging. Josie has been approached by a local professional ballet company to audition for their winter ballet. It is in no way a guarantee that she will be in it, but it is still a great honor to be invited. It just turns me into mush to hear others appreciate her gifts.

So whoo hoo, she gets the great opportunity to audition, and understands (at least in her head) that she might not be right for the part. We believe in her and her dance instructor dose too, so we will hope for the best and know that god has put this learning experience in her path. She seems to have a great grip on reality with this. She told me last night that she knows this is a wonderful experience for her, one she can grow and learn from, she just doesn't know if god has given this too her to learn and work with a professional company or to learn how to deal with not being chosen. We shall wait and see what is to come.
