A babbling blog....

We are sitting here waiting for Bunny's dance competition to start. The convention center is almost empty. Yesterday it was about 75% full with a constant churn of people.

One of the other moms commented about won't it be weird for them to dance to an almost empty place. This started me thinking about how when I was younger when you went to a competition that everyone went at the same time and stayed for the whole thing. Is this a thing of the past teaching our kids to cheer on our competition? Is that last 30 minutes of sleep so important? More important than showing support for others? I am personally excited to stay and see all the dances today. I have always enjoyed dance, especially watching it since I lack all personal talent.

As I wait I wonder how my small one will handle the end. Will she get an award? If so will it go to her little head? What if she doesn't, will she be devastated or motivated to practice more and try harder?

I think this is all to much for such a 6 year old but she hasn't blinked once or shown signs of nervousness and I am in awe of her confidence and excitement.
