Tonight as I was sitting at Garett's Dance Rehearsal for Hip Hop, I became very aware that I now have a school age child. It was bittersweet. There are several of his friends from school that are also in dance classes and when he wasn't dancing, he was watching them dance, sitting with them, and just plain having a good time with his friends!
I love that he is becoming independent and outgoing! But for a moment...when I was sitting in the auditorium row all by myself...I was a bit sad. Remembering just a few years ago when he was sitting on my lap after his class rehearsed, begging me to stay for just one more performance practice! But the sadness faded quickly as I watched him soaking in the performances with his little friends -- William, Sydney, Melanie and Kaitlyn. How they got excited when the older ballerinas came out and Garett recognized the helpers from his Hip Hop and Tap Classes and a older friend from church and turned around to tell me so!
Even though I miss the stages of the past, I think I will forever being saying...ooh, I love this stage because...{fill in the blank}. So for now...I'm enjoying this crazy stage!
