A Good Question

Questions...Questions....Questions...

What is the weirdest last name you've heard?

If you were president what would you make a new law?

Have you ever been so scared that you cried?

Are there any words that exist now that did not exist when you were my age?

(Now that was a good question!)

Has it been 5 minutes of silence yet mom?  (Um, NO)

Ok This is some serious stuff gals.  A nod that you are listening just wont do!

A pat on the head and a hug just will not answer the burning questions.  This actually requires thought!

AND This is only the series of questions I have gotten over the last 24 hours!

I have a brilliant Daughter that drives me absolutely crazy.

I am guessing I am not the only one who has a child like this.

I realize that the reason she drives me so crazy is because she is determined and stubborn and just darn Brilliant.  I also realize that these are the things that I am just so proud of her for. Tonight she did a move in her Gymnastics class that no one else could.  It was amazingly hard. A straddle press.  I am not certain that she could do it at a drop of a hat when she left for Gymnastics.  But by the time we got there, she had decided that she would.  She asked me to tell the teacher she could.  I had no doubt that Once I told her teacher, she would be able to do it, just because of her pure determination.  

SO Tonight I say YOU GO GIRL!  YOU ROCK.

Tonight I say even if you are absolutely exhausting to raise.  It is absolutely worth every last minute. Love your fire.  Love your determination.  Love your brilliance. Keep on shining!
