Looking up....

My daughter recently started ballet/tap lessons. She attends with a school friend who knows a lot of the older students. The friend took my daughter to watch an older girls' class through the door. They both stood there going "wow" for a while and I found it very inspiring.
I'm feeling very grown up suddenly - mainly because I suddenly have a very grown up daughter. Of course she still has her moments which will continue to change from toddler tantrums to girly strops to teenage angst. However she is also showing herself to be able to be responsible for things, to take more charge of her actions and her life. Exciting and exhilarating and scary!
