That Time of the Year

It’s that time of the year when all of Jordan and Cameron’s activities collide. Jordan has dance, physical therapy, piano, softball and all kinds of birthday parties scattered throughout this month. Each activity has a reason: Dance is something Jordan loves and it helps her work on her core strength, physical therapy is another important appointment to help her continue to be strong and balaned, piano is great for her mind and love of the arts and softball is a sport she has grown to adore each year as she gets better at playing it.

But dance… I tell you, dance is special.

Jordan goes through waves of loving it and just liking it. But when she gets into her performance mode and turns on that smile. I tell you, it’s kind of magical. I don’t see stage fright, I see confidence. It’s pretty awesome. This year, Jordan is in the bigger kid classes. She’s performing in two different dances: jazz and tap.

Now, if I just sneak in some extra time for her to practice her dances outside of class… She’s golden. But wow, we’re busy. Maybe one year, she’ll make a few more decisions about which activities matter the most to her. But for now, we’ll continue to play with the arts and sports until Jordan has a better idea of what activity she loves more.
