I hated ballet as a kid and so I refuse to take her, although I think I am also rebelling against the pink girlyness of it (so you can see why I have a wannabe rock star).

He's recently been diagnosed with Asperger's and I'm really worrying about how this is going to affect him long-term. I know I should just press on with a 'you can be anything you want to be' attitude but seeing where he has difficulties already I find it hard to fully buy in to this attitude.Tillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15665464372841227874noreply@blogger.com
