Some of the kids at the dance studio were picked to be able to dance on one of the stages at Summer Jam last summer. At first I wasn't going to let Kaiya go….its not the best environment for an 11 year old to be in. It took a couple weeks for me to decided that since her dad was going and promised that she would be right with him the whole time and he would keep a close eye on her I would let her go. The plan was for her to leave as soon as they were off the stage (and before the concerts started). It was quite the experience for her and the kids. For me it was an experience that made me have to talk to Kaiya about drugs. EEK!!!! I was glad to have an opportunity to talk to her about it but it scares the heck out of me! She was very opened and told me that she didn't like how she felt there. Which made me relieved! I don't want my kids super sheltered. I want them to be aware but also be able to come and talk to me about everything and anything. I hope that Kaiya will be able to be strong enough in the future to not feel the need to participate in things she shouldn't.
