My mother got Emily this dress in the Fall and I have never let her wear it because I thought it had to have navy blue shoes. Emily's Kay-K sent her these shoes last week and now she can wear the dress! Emily adores these shoes!!!! She has put them on everyday for the past week. Here is Emily showing off her dress and shoes and doing her MOST favorite thing. Coloring! Only she insists that she uses a pen.
Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now. Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago. We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun! No stress at all, as far as I can remember! I just played. I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year! Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons." WHAT? I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go? I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST. I guess that's a go
