Daxton's first art show

Derric and I have come to realize as parents that your kids will never know of the opportunities that are right in front of them if you don't make them aware of them. Daxton and his friend William have been making needle and thread art all summer long and getting better and better at them. I was reading about the up coming events for Steel Days and saw that they have an art show every year. The thought came to me to have Daxton enter with his needle and thread. He got so excited and put so much more effort into the piece that he would enter. He wanted it to be perfect! He was so excited to see his art up with so many other talented people and felt a ton of accomplishment! I am not an artsy person and never have entered an art contest myself but have started to realize the world of opportunity out there is enormous for our children and we need to keep an eye out for opportunities for them to try different things and discover what they may enjoy doing and excell in life.
