Mollie's Poem
I am a DANCER.
I wonder if I will ever be AMAZING.
I hear the sound of tap shoes on tile.
I see my face in the mirror as I spot myself after each pirouette.
I want the day to come when I am given the honor of receiving my first pair of Pointe shoes.
I am a DANCER.
I remember the first time I ever did a double pique turn.
I feel the rough calluses built up on my feet from months, years of devotion.
I touch the cold metal ballet bar.
I cry when I feel like I am not good enough.
I am a DANCER.
I understand that I am not perfect.
I say, “ This is what I want to do for the REST of my life.”
I dream of dancing for him…
I believe that I can do anything if my heart is truly in it.
I am a DANCER.

Cute Things Isaac Says and Does
He know how to get to my house, is a great back seat driver, and if his parents aren't going to my house but drive near our street he yells, "Goga, Goga."
He gets so excited to play with his Thomas train that he is calling "Thomas" as soon as he comes through the door.
He also has a Billy, an Elizabeth, and a Rosie, but he will not call her Rosie, because Jared called her "what's her face" when he took them all out of the package. Isaac consistently insists on calling her "Face" no matter how many times grandpa tells him her name is Rosie.
He puts the leash on Johny and leads him around the house for a walk.
That is, if he is not climbing on Johny and riding him like a horse, or laying down on Johny's bed with him.
He loves to put pennies in Grandpa's robot bank. He has this funny little quirky thing that he does when he twists each penny before he can deposit it!
He loves to shred paper. He says "schredda" over and over.
He loves to watch Kipper.
He thinks all of our 5 sugar gliders are named "Cal" because one of them is named Calvin.
He is the Joy of his Grandpa and Goga's life.

Wondering
Thinking about where
I want to go...
Growth means change and change involves risk,
stepping from the known to the unknown.
~ George Shinn~
and then we shall find the way.
