My daughter won first place at a competition this weekend with this artistic routine.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=toAXYap0BLI

She spends a lot of time at the rink which means that mom spends equal amounts of time on the bench.

I still can't believe that she just turned 13. How do they get so grown up so fast?

Eileen,
Have you not spent more than equal time "on the bench" with ideas of what should be done? Admit it, I would have.
Don't mind me, I am simply a jealous childless sort. Enjoy every minute of it

Congratulations. Wish I had been there to watch.

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead
I understand completely, Eileen. My only daughter just turned 15. While she is none of the terror you normally hear of teens as being, it still amazes me where these years have gone, and how quickly. So I am focusing on savoring the time we have left with her at home and making sure we have a good relationship to carry on into adulthood.

But I marvel at what an incredible young woman she has grown up to be, and anticipate even greater things to come.

Wow! A clean routine and very gracefully done. That takes incredible poise, confidence, and a lot of hard work. Congrats to both of you!

Thanks for sharing.

I watched my 9-year old screech away on stage last night on his cello. It was amazing in a sort of how-did-he-ever-learn-to-walk-let-alone-play-an-instrument kind of way. :cool:

Beautiful skating. My niece - also 13 - is big into figure skating. If you're from the MA area, they might know each other.

Congrats!

The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D

Awesome!

Thanks for sharing. People keep telling me to treasure these early times because they go by so quickly. I'm starting to think to myself "yeah, I hope so!"

Seriously, though, good work.

The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.

I remember that...they do though. In the moment, it seems like an eternity! But it's so fleeting. You'll be old and sage and looking back at it someday. Enjoy the process.

PianoDad.....The first thing she said as she came off the ice......Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did a clean program. It has been quite a tough year dealing with nerves and this is the first clean program in awhile. She was so proud of herself! I was so glad to see how she felt.

Apple: I too marvel in her strong body. you would not believe how many crunches and situps she can do. I think Mom needs to at least improve in that area so they don't wonder if she is adopted or something. I am so proud of the work she puts in to her skating.

I just stay out of her way and sign the checks!
