Author: I think he's getting there.(op)
Subject: Thanks for all the great advice. We just had a talk before he was off to school.

We talked about how other people did things they were probably worried they'd get teased about, as well. God gave us all different talents. We can't all be football players (he is on a basketball team and swim team). We also talked about his attitude, and that if he acted ashamed of dancing, others would be more likely to tease. When he left for school, he said, "mom, I do like irish dancing." We'll see how it goes. Thanks again.
