A reminder of why we live in the city...
I reflected a few posts ago about living in the city and my kids missing out on having a big backyard (or, in our case, any backyard at all). We saw the flip side last night. My wife and I went to a benefit for an Indian non-profit and my daughter performed with a Bollywood group that she's been dancing with the past few months. It's moments like these that remind me that though there are things that my kids will miss out on, there are also opportunities that will open their worldview, like Bollywood dancing and going up to Devon Avenue in Chicago and buying a sari.
As you can see from the photos (this is from an earlier performance at their school), there's a wide variety of girls in the group and Caroline has a great time with them. I like to think that she's being formed in really wonderful ways in doing things like this. I know I am just watching her.
