A Childs Choice

When I was pregnant my husband wanted a hockey player. Boy or girl, they were going to play hockey. I'm good with that, as long they are happy.

Well, we have a daughter, who is almost 5 now, and does not have the skating talent down. We get on the ice often, but she just doesn't get it. She wants to, but it stays as a want. And this is fine.

We've moved on to option two. B told me she would like to do ballet, so here we are. We've been in ballet since beginning of October and she absolutely loves it. Cannot get enough.

I didn't get the option of sports growing up. My sister got softball, my brother got cadets and I had girl guides. That's it, that's all. My husband played hockey almost everyday of his life, hence the hockey dream.

All that being said, I want to provide my child(ren) the chance to do or be anything they want. So, until she tells me that she doesn't want to dance anymore, and wants to try something else, I'm going to enjoy watching my ballerina dance every week.
