convertiblesct.com - Pride and Joy

For those of you who wondered where I was for a couple of months around March of 2004, I was just a little busy.....meet Ava Renee - my pride and joy. I have a new item to add to my resume and some new songs to add to my repertoire. Most importantly, new joy in my life and a whole new way of singing to a whole new audience. every day. happily. KC
This girl is a singer....I'm so proud. She sings the abc song and even sings her own originals. Music is a part of every single day. She has a beautiful voice and no fear of taking chances with her voice. Its amazing what her singing brings back to me. Nursery Rhymes. We make songs up. The emotion that goes into each performance! wow
We will do seriously funny things. We will cram ouselves into a photo booth. We will bake lumpy cookies. We will sing as loud as we can. And we will paint with our fingers. And we will be seriously funny. Because its ok.
There is nothing more special in the world I hear her speak and I'm a child again. I look into those eyes and I want to be young and small again. I see me in those eyes looking back at me and it makes me want to protect her from all the world and it also makes me want to experience all the wonderful parts of life all over again.
Its a magical time of life. Many "Mysterious Mysteries". I have someone to sing with. Someone who wants me to sing at 7:30 am and 11pm. She wants me to smile. And we smile because its important.
There are no words adequate. There is not enough time in the world. There will never be an end to our possibilities nor a limit to what we will share. The only sure thing, is that every day is different and new and this is definately the BEST job I have ever had.
She exudes love. And Happiness. And Creativity. And Joy. During the summer, when Popcorn (the dawg) ran away for 3 hours, her heart was broken and it made everything within me fall apart on the inside, while on the outside I was the brave mom who was supposed to know all of the right things to say and do. Somehow I did it, and when Popcorn returned, I could breathe again. It is a fierce love we have. I have become the Mommy Lioness and she is my cub.
She's growing so fast....and changing every day. One minute is different from the next. She lost her first "Loosen Tooff" and actually went to bed reasonably early in anticipation of the visit from the tooth fairy. She was as equally thrilled with the $1.41 (a penny, nickel, dime, quarter and dollar) that she got from the tooth fairy as she is on Christmas and Easter!
See how she is my total focus? See how everything goes by in a blurr? This is my life. Nothing else matters. She is everything joyous and wonderous and happy.
