Tiny Dancer

One of the biggest benefits of staying home with my kids is getting to expose them to all sorts of activities.  Molly currently gets to take a dance class during the day while her brothers are in school.  She is by no means headed for the professional stage, but she loves to dance.  Maybe even more, she loves to perform.  I am so glad that she has developed the confidence necessary to get up on a stage in front of a lot of people and perform.  That is something that will serve her well no matter what she does as an adult!

Another great benefit of staying home with my kids is getting to be there for everything they do.  On Monday, I got to watch Molly's dance class. She has improved so much from last year in both skill and ablility to feel confident in front of an audience.  I can't wait for her recital at the end of the school year!

Here are a few pictures from my observations:

Molly and her cousin Riley and friend Emerson

The honeypot...she can almost touch her feet to her head!
