Last night was the Talent Show at the kid's elementary school. One of the things I like about the school is all the little "extra" things they do. Yes...sometimes these 'extras' can get to be too much, but it's all for the kids and they try to appeal to the masses. In other words, the Talent Show may not be for everyone...which is why they do a multitude of various activities. To include them all.
Regardless, my point is about my Belle. And how she is growing up wayyyyy too fast. Her little cheer team did their competitive dance (remember...they are only 1st and 2nd graders, so it's not all THAT competitive!) they did this past football season. Same as they did in last year's Talent Show (last year's dance, that is!).
Before the show, as she's primping with the help of her quite-amazing coach (and one of my friends)...

...she asks me how many people are here. I tell her it's a full house. She stares for a minute then says, "That's okay. I don't get stage fright. I'm a professional." Hmmmmmmm....
So she goes out and performs. Shakes her stuff a little more than I'm ready for her to be shakin' it. She has a complete blast and enjoys the rest of the show sitting infront of the stage with all her friends. Not a worry in the world. Just as she should be. Feeling like the total star (that she is) and loving life because girlfriend is in.her.element.
Afterward we go out to eat and she sits on the bronze statues of the horses...as usual. It's kinda 'her thing'.
Finally, I got the pleasure of posing with my sweet 'little' girl who I wish I could pause time for...even though she would rather push the fast forward button. I remember wanting to do that. Right now I just want to make them both happy and take it slowwwww and enjoy every second of their little lives. Like I told them this morning in bed when they asked if they could crawl in for 'morning snuggles'..."Of course...afterall, one day you won't want to do this anymore." Slow down kids. Stop and smell the roses. Enjoy every second. And every other little saying out there that could possibly convince you to enjoy what you have.
I love you tooooooo much. xoxoxo
