Local parents Mom Erica says: "She has been creative as long as I can remember. She used to keep a beat in my stomach! She's been in Kindermusik since four months and received a scholarship for another music program before turning one. Abigale loves to dance, take gymnastics and began drawing before she was a year old. Lately, she's been taking my phone to take selfies and photos of her shoes. She has an awesome soul and a unique little personality." T here's no denying it… The Hudson Valley is chock-full of Incredible Kids and parents just waiting for the opportunity to brag about them! We asked parents to tell us why their creative kids are so incredible for a chance to be featured in this issue and the opportunity to be on a 2018 cover of Hudson Valley Parent. Our staff was overwhelmed with all the great submissions. We read stories about kids who love to draw and paint, musical kids with tons of talent, dancers, gymnasts and even young entrepeneurs! Choosing our three finalists was not easy. Alas, after much deliberation, Hudson Valley Parent is proud to announce our second group of Incredible Kids! We'd also like to extend a hearty thank you to our Incredible Kids sponsor, Children's Medical Group. Finalist: Abigale H. of Poughkeepsie
