Developing Talents

One part of parenting that Jay and I feel very strongly about is that each child has some sort of activity that they are involved in.   This isn't too bad when they are just starting out but as they improve it becomes so much fun to watch them develop and grow doing something they love.   Jake has baseball and plays on the high school team and a select team during the summer.   Izzie plays volleyball at the middle school and for Texas Image.  Libby plays rec volleyball and the cello, in which she plays with the Fort Worth Junior Strings Orchestra.  So when it came time for Camdyn, the remaining time has been rather difficult to carve out, thus the delay.    We are finally jumping in and she has chosen to play the violin.   She has wanted to play for over a year and we wanted to see if the desire stuck....she even passed up dance to play the violin.    Last week she and I headed up to Keller to rent her itty, bitty 1/8th size violin.    Here are a couple of photos with the new instrument:

She is super excited and cannot wait to start!  I am super excited to watch her grow and develop and I think the discipline from music will help this little one out.
