In a time of instant entertainment (TV, 3-D movies, etc..) my daughter lives in the world of her imagination. She rides invisible horses, has a pet rhino, converses with imaginary friends, and locks invisible doors. One day after I left our tea party, I returned to a very upset little girl. With hands on her hips and an angry glare, she said "you broke my door," I had walked through her invisible door. My daughter reminds me to slow down, smell the flowers and always believe in fairies.

My singing reminder
As I lay in bed I reflect upon my day, week, month... You get the picture. I have been so stressed over school, finances and husband upcoming new job I forget the wonderful things in life. I forgot how beautiful the rain was yesterday or how much fun I have at Pampered Chef or Lia Sophia parties. I forget how much I love to learn new things in school or paint like I have never painted before. Most importantly I forget why I do why I do. I do it all for Coco. I do it because when I come after working I find her awake (way past her bedtime) singing all her words. "Mommie, I can't find my toothbrush" is an Italian aria I can't live without. She makes up her our songs and sometimes even words. She hides under the covers so she can "go shopping and have a slumber party with [her] friends!" I can get through and finish another day because being a better Mommie and loving her from the top of her head down to the tips of her toes is all my little Coco needs. Life is grand. Tomorrow try singing a conversation!
