So, We tried this out a few months ago and signed Jalina up for Dance......
We went to like 3 classes and then she tells me this in the car......
Mama can I tell you something? and I said "Yes"... I am not a Ballerina she said....I am a HIP HOP star!... Then she tells me...I don't want to go back... I agreed and told her that I understand but it was worth a try...so we are on the lookout now for Hip Hop classes for her... How cute!!!
It's amazing how I see life now... I see it through my daughters eyes. So full of life and happiness. The way she makes me laugh.... or the days she pushes those buttons... It is so hard to be stern cause she is so friggin cute. She makes me look at things different. I luv to just stare at her while she is playing, when she concentrates as she draws (she got that from me) or just sitting watching a movie...Her expressions amaze me all the time. As I kiss her good night, she wraps her arms around me and tells me she loves me.. I hold her so close and watch her sleep. So peaceful and precious. I look at her as if she was still a newborn.. She still sleeps the same way and makes the same faces... I just can't believe we created such a miracle..We made life...think about that.. Isn't that amazing? I remember being pregnant and my husband saying to me once on the phone "you have a life inside of you that is 1/2 me" I thought about that and then thought to myself WOW he's right! Now she is here and already 5 years have past. How time flies..Cherish every moment...
Fun in the sun! My little model... (of course with the flower in her hair) who swims with a flower in their hair?
O! and of course we have the shades !!!
And last but not least her Papi spraying her with the hose because "princess" didn't want to get wet.... Just like her mother...we are in trouble Richie....2 of me is not going to be fun....
I remember this day like it was yesterday as Jalina is writing on her new chalkboard and watching her scribble and erase..scribble and erase. She then asks me "Mama how do you write MOM?" so I say to her "M-O-M". Not even a second after that she writes it on the board. I jump off the couch and scream and start to cry... OF course had to take a picture and make her write it 100 times because I thought I was seeing things. Now all she does is write and she is so proud of herself. Everyday we try to work on new words. So proud of you mama....Luv u
Just to think on March 1, 2003 my baby girl was born 2lb & 2oz at 26 weeks. Such an amazing miracle to see that she came into this world so early. All the tubes and machines that were hooked up to her for months on end. I thought that the day would never come to see her come home. After 3 long months our "Miracle" was on her way home. Imagine waiting 3 months for your child to come home? Day after day and night after night going into Boston just to hold her and read to her and be with her. My Angel is such a miracle baby and We are so blessed to have her in our lives. We love you mama....
Look at her now! 5 Years later and who would think she was such a preemie with so many issues at 26 weeks. What a beautiful, smart, loving, happy, healthy child she is. So amazing and such a blessing to see how far she has come. We are so proud of you mama! momi & papi love you mucho. You are truely a "Miracle" to us. God Bless You.....
