My little Bunch has always been a songbird, humming while she played even as a toddler, and making up little songs. I loved listening to her chirping along while she was in the bathtub or playing in her room.
When she was eleven, she wrote a song called Cheer Up, and today she performed it live at the sixth grade talent show in front of all her peers. She wasn't quite ready to accompany herself and sing at the same time, so Doc played it on his guitar and I recorded it onto a CD for her. Doc was on call today and couldn't be there to see it, so I made a video for him, which I thought I'd post here too.
It was her last day of elementary school, and she is quite sad about this. No more recess. No more riding the bus to school. She has had a marvelous experience here, with darling friends and some amazing teachers. Yesterday I was rummaging through my garage and found a little jacket she got when she was born, and it was so small that I caught my breath and choked back tears. Where have the years gone so quickly? I can't believe she fit that just 12 years ago!
I love this kid.
Blessings:
1) Great schools
2) Great kids
3) Summer!!!!!!!

I loved hearing her sing this live. She is a beautiful, sweet, talented girl. So glad we're friends!
