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

My sister and I loved playing dress-up with friend's when we were little and having tea parties, we had the real deal when we were older and all of the friend's we invited wore pretty dresses and got to decorate straw hats and eat all the yummy tea party foods and drink out of good China teacups with saucers.

Your girls are precious!
My girls love playing dress up! I'm afraid my 9 year old is going to grow out of wanting to in a couple of years...makes me sad thinking about it!
