A bit about her.......

I haven't said much about my 8 year old lately.  I gotta brag on her a little cause she's really matured a lot.  We're at this really great point.  She is so helpful now and just a real keeper.  She used to be such a hard child, but I guess that was just her determination coming out and my lack of patience, cause she really is sweet.  She helps me out so much and is doing so well at her extracurricular stuff.  She is excelling at fiddle and I think we're probably at close to the same level now (I have a slight edge on her because I can read music) but she is gaining on me fast.  We practice together now and I think it is motivating us both!  I don't know if I'm just a doting Mom or what, but she has this knack for making things look so easy and effortless.  I don't think I have that knack.  I thought it was so with dance but now I am seeing it with fiddle.  She plays jigs now and dances to them at the same time, and I'm sort of amazed.  This is her and one of her best friends.  We went cross country skiing with some friends and it was really fun!
