An Aspiring Singer and A Come Back Failure

Oh how guilty do I feel for my lack of attention to one of my greatest stress relievers!  I feel like I have let my kid's stories down!  There have been precious moments over the past 2 weeks that have made me smile, laugh, pull my hair out and wish time would freeze.  While I wish I had some wonderful excuse for my hiatus of writing, I do not.  My truthful reasons: housework, schoolwork, sunny afternoons and good Sunday naps on the couch have been the time stealers.

But, I am back in action!  

How would I really describe Wylie?  As a baby she was happy, never liked vegetables and was particular about the position of her sleeping essentials.  And still today... these 3 characteristics ring true.     With both Bubba and I sharing a love for all kinds of music, we always batted around the conversation, who would our singer be?  

Friends, we have 2 people to thank for Wylie's self discovery of her vocal chords:  Rihanna and Annie!  

 

My child LOVES to sing!  In department stores, she is very in tune with the music and gets quite a giggle when a song she knows comes on.  From the backseat of the Bailey Bus she belts out her tunes with all her heart and soul.  In the kitchen, she throws song parties that me and Bess have dance parties too.  In front of the television screen, while dressed in her "Let's Go To the Movies Outfit", she pretends to be Annie.  From her bed at night, she continues to pretend she is Annie singing with Daddy Warbucks!  Morning, noon or night, this little girl loves to showcase her aspiring vocal chords! 

Tonight, I surprised my little love with a new song on my phone - her current favorite - I Don't Need Anything But You from Annie.  Wylie's world went from good to great in a matter of a split second!  In no time at all, she was singing her favorite line "Yesterday was plain awful..."  and all was well with the world! 

 

I am dying at how old Wy looks in this pic!!  Seriously, yesterday she didn't have hair and I was forcing bows into her sprouts!  

I am so thankful for her love for music!  I treasure the little songs I overhear her sing.  I love her excitement for a good song!  It makes my heart happy!  

I hope this aspiring singer will never lose her love for a song and will follow in her parents footsteps!  Who knows, she may meet the love of her life while singing like her momma did!  

Love you Wylie Girl!
