Besides my own daughter, this little girl is by far the cutiest little girl I have ever seen. Her voice is so amazing and so innocent. I can't even handle it, it brings me to tears everytime I watch this.
I know we all want our kids to have every talent ever and be good at everything. But is there one thing you hope you're child grows up to be good at? Is there one secret talent you want to instill in him or her? I will never become a stage mom, but I will instill the things I think will be good for her, much like my mom did for me. My mom started taking me to have piano lessons when I was 10 years old, I started cheerleading at 13, and voice lessons and 14. I have now played piano for over 10 years, singing for just as many, and I was a cheerleader for 7 years. All three of those things were my life and my love. I can't tell you how many times I came home from piano lessons and told my mom I was gonna quit, but she wouldn't let me. There was even a period where I hated piano and hated her for making me go. But I got over it, and quickly learned to love it again. Through the years, I played in high school concerts, talent shows, I was our church's pianist for hymns every Sunday, I played in college and countless other activities that I enjoyed. I have sang since I can remember and I have always loved it, although I will never do it in front of a crowd. And we will not go into cheerleading because that was my LIFE in high school, it's what I lived, breathed, and ate. Never once did I regret having my mother instill those things into my life and I look back at those things I did and I am proud.
And now that I have a daughter of my own, guess what I want her to do? Piano, singing, and cheerleading...haha. I will never force her to do something she doesn't want to do, but instilling things in her that will possibly enjoy is my right as a mother. Cheerleaders/dancers are bred from birth so you better believe that when she gets to that age of 3-4 she's going to take some kind of dance lessons or something to get out of the house and out of in front of the television. I'm sure an instrument will come naturally, but my mother always had a piano in the house which was what made me curious and ultimatly made me ask my mother if I could get lessons. I will also do the same for my daughter. And if my daughter will grow to love music as much I do, singing will come naturally as well. Now, mind you...if she grows up to like baseball, computers, and wrestling I will be a little dissapointed, but if she's good at them I will be the proudest mom of the coolest daughter ever. She is her own person, as was I, but there was always music playing in my house growing up which made me appreicate good music....it's all about surroundings and how you were raised. My mother never brought the idea of playing the piano up, I asked for it, and it was probably because of the kind of enviornment she had me in. I will let Sophia be her own person, at the same time instilling things my mother instilled in me.
Is there anything you secretly hope your child grows up to be good at?
I never had the chance to do dance when I was little, so when I found out I was expecting a girl, I immediately thought "BALLET!!!" Even if it's not something she enjoys, at least she'll have the chance to try it, and I think that's important. Like you, if she hates it and wants to play softball or something instead, fine- but I'd like her to have that chance to dance. :)
Aww.. she is so sweet!! Thanks for visiting my site.
husband and i were actually kind of talking about this the other day. about things we want to do / don't want to do as parents. i know that he would like for our child to be able to play an instrument. and i love to paint and hope that our child will be somewhat artistic. but i guess we will have to wait and see baby's personality. i mean... we don't even know if we are having a boy or a girl yet!
