Multi-talented

Singing the lead in a song on Rock Band

Dear Emma,

One of your most favorite ways to express yourself is through drumming on everything that you can, and with anything that will make a sound when it connects with something else. Pencils on notebooks, hands on thighs, it doesn't matter to you, as long as it keeps a rhythm. As much as I don't want to kill your creativity and developing talent, I am always stopping you before you get to the climax of your set. There is only so much drumming that I can take after a while. But no matter how many times I stop you, you are never discouraged from drumming another day, so perhaps drumming, as an art, is in your future. I have considered researching and signing you up for a drum class, where you can be with like-minded little individuals and drum away. You are definitely at that age now where you should be in all kinds of extra-curricular activities. You just have so many things that you like to do, you'd have me running all over town.

You love to sing, play drums, dance, and play football. Yep, you like to play football. In fact, you make it a point to play everyday at school. You are the only girl tough enough to take the boys on in flag football, well, except for your principal, who is a woman, and also joins you on the yard. I heard that, even though its flag football, you tackle the boys down to the ground. That's my girl =). It would probably be really cool to put you on a peewee team.

For now, I guess I will just sit back and enjoy the show.

Love,
Mommy
