The house has been filled with music today, warmth and yummy smells of cookies. I love that. It has just been me, my daughter and her best friend. Dancing...laughing...playing. These are the days I just treasure. These two little girls are at that edge. That link between girlhood and the long procession to womanhood. They are waiting in the foyer of puberty, eager to start and peeking thru the curtain. So awkward, goofy, silly and sweet. Lindsay asked me today "Why do they call each other Boo?" (In reference to a song by Usher and Alicia Keys - Boo as in term of endearment like honey, baby, sweetie) I explained to her, just that. She said "Ew! I would never call a boy that!" Yeah...well, just wait a couple years Lindsay, if that.
We had a few dance lessons today. Hmmmm. A couple "white girls" they are. :P Reminders of Seinfeld and Elaines dyslexic robot dance, came to mind. I said just close your eyes and feel the music. (Growing up Southern California, house music and dances were a regular part of life since middle school. It was just something you do.)
The girls also had their first performance today for choir. Rachel had her solo, and although she didn't have the projection, from nerves I am sure, she was beautiful. I think I was nervous for her, cause my hands kept shaking when trying to capture some photos. Luckily, she has about 3 more shows in the next week. Maybe I should invest in a tripod...otherwise I am going to have to claim a really bad artistic endeavor.
Anyway. I have another batch of cookies to do.
