Tonight I watched my daughter get up on stage in front of an audience and sing and dance with her preschool class for a Christmas Celebration. London was dressed in a burgundy velvet dress and white tights with little black ballet shoes. She looked happy and focused as she sang the lyrics and followed along with her hands to "Whole World In His Hands". Scott and I were so proud of her as we sat in the second row watching with his parents and little Zoe on their laps in her green velvet dress and red pigtails.
This was the first of many school activities and performances and I was so incredibly happy to be there and to see my little girl up there. Yes, every parent feels this but for me, it's even sweeter because we are making sure that she gets these opportunities that I didn't have and that we know are good for her.
Even the tiniest things make me feel lucky. I love taking them to the bathroom and teaching them how to wash their hands and listening to London sing and discover that her voice sounds good in there. Listening to them make each other laugh while doing the simplest things gives me so much happiness.
