This day has come too soon.

Our church is doing a musical for the 3-5 yr. olds called God is Number One. Last week at practice Julie talked about the solo part and said you need to come to try outs if you want a solo. My little angel took that to mean that she had to be there. I didn't even think she really knew the song. So all week she has been paranoid that she was going to miss tryouts. She had in her mind that she was trying out, I'm not even sure that she knows what she is trying out for. But I let her.

Boy did she surprise me tonight. She knew all the words she was supposed to sing and she did pretty good for her age, but I am a little partial to her. She knew when to start singing and everything. She had some distractions but she's 4, that happens.

Her is a picture of her singing.


When she got up there with no inhibitions and sang her little heart out I lost it. My little girl is growing up to fast. As she sang more and more the tears fell more and more.
I am so proud of her.

She is going to be like her daddy, not afraid to get up in front of people. I am thankful for that. I have such a hard time getting up in front of people. I hope she never does and never has to go through what I do when it's time to get up in front of others.
