My beautiful girl had her dance recital last weekend. I’m so proud of her and how hard she works. Dance is not for the faint of heart, it takes hours and hours of hard work and discipline. Clara never complains (mom does, but Clara doesn’t).
Seventh grade was a long year! More hours of homework than I could have ever imagined. Clara works so hard at whatever she does. So, when she made honor society with a 4.0 grade point, I could not help being proud of her. There was more than one week where she did 12-15 hours of homework on top of 10 hours of dance. And she keeps the best attitude about everything!
And somewhere in 7th grade, she started looking like a grownup. She can stop that already!!! And…because school and dance weren’t enough, she decided she really wanted to go out for track. I was so proud of her for trying something new and totally out of her comfort zone. She did long jump and high jump this year. She even medaled in high jump at one meet and we were all there to see it! It was awesome!
This girl, she is brave, fearless, kind, tender, thoughtful, creative and so much fun to be with. She has a gentle spirit and is so easy going. I love being her mom. I love her more than all the numbers!
