Talents in our children

Rachel is so artistic that we have always let her have the freedom to try 
and to develop her creativity in lots of mediums. She paints, draws,
writes, 
and quite well. She has been praised in her essay writing at school and
has 
an amazing ability to think out plotlines, and stay very consistent in 
writing even more involved stories with multiple characters and subplots.
In 
Mississippi she spent a year in an afterschool art program that she very 
much enjoyed but isn't offered in our area now she has pretty much allowed

her talent to grow on its own.

Lately though, music has been her real creative focus and she is exceeding

even better than she ever thought she would. She plays the flute in the 
Middle School band and starting taking piano lessons about a year ago. She

likes the flute, but she loves the keyboard and is writing music and
lyrics 
of her own trying to find a balance between her love of older tock and new

music forms. It's amazing to watch her and see her tremendous pride with 
creating melodies, adding chords for additional instruments and just 
immersing herself in a world of music. She really has a keen ability and I

am so proud she is developing it on her own. She played in church last 
Sunday for the offertory and sounded very fluid and confidant.

So what are your kidlets gifts/talents? I will reply with Ian's gifts in 
another post just thought it would be interesting to hear about what other

activities may your children's heart sing??
