Happy Birtday Princess

Princess is celebrating her 10th birtday today. It's amazing how fast the years go by. As I close my eyes it's a quick flashback of the doctor handing my sweet little pea over to me. She had the cutest little curled in fingers with a large amount of black hair.
Hunky and I have enjoyed watching our baby girl grow. From turning over, crawling, walking, first falls, dance recitals and soccer games. Now today she is not only celebrating her 10th birthday but running for school council Vice President. That's right my little Princess has transformed into such a beautiful butterfly that is always ready to fly into some new adventure.


What a journey it has been. So happy birthday Princess mommy loves you and you Rock!!!

College

Ohhh gee if my mind is going to blow it's going to happen any second. My job today is to go through the Scholarship Handbook and find as many as Spider Monkey can apply to. Wish me well on this adventure and we hope to see some approvals. Fingers are now crossed. By the way we had a great time visiting St. Rose college. It's going to be one of her top choices http://www.strosedu.com/.

Oh and yes, if any one needs some help looking for scholarships check out http://www.collegboard.com/.

Going away

My baby girl is on her way out, those two words makes me want to cringe, grab a box of tissue and choke my self. I am having a moment here ok, may be I have been having a few moments for the last week. Shee, she's leaving my first little princess flying away setting her wings and leaving the nest.

What's a mom to do???? She's one of the funny one's in the house; always ready to dance her way through the house just like when she was a baby.

You carry them then they crawl next they walk and run but through it all your still by their side hoping they won't fall but knowing you'll catch if they should. You want them to grow to see it all, because you know life has so much to offer but then it comes and it hits home. You won't be there everyday to wipe those tears away, you won't see her every day walking by and seeing her turn with a smile.

So those tiny little hands got bigger and she grew taller but her heart and soul are the same. They are just as big from the first day I laid eyes on her and held her in my arms.

I have to let her be and know that she will find her way and will always be able to count on me.

What more is there for me to say????

Nothing really more I can say but to say how much I love her.

Chass, Chassy, Chastity, Spider monkey mommy loves you with every being in me. oxoxoxox.

Dads & Daughters

My Princess and I

Friday was all about my youngest princess. I have four unique children so I am always trying to make time for each of them individualy. That's what this Friday was all about. Just sharing the day with one of my princess'.

As my family and close friends know I love visiting the city and Kit Kat loves it just as much as I do. We started our morning off with a one and a half our drive talking and listening to her favorite music. Yeah for Hannah Montana!!! Kit Kat adores her. The plan was to visit the Museum of Natural History. The smile on her face as we were walking through the building just touched me. She was taken back by the architecture and most of all those grand old dinosaur bones. My Kit Kat is a very emotional person and can just warm the coldest person in a matter of seconds. Her appreciation never goes unnoticed. Those are just one of the many things I love about my little princess. One memory that I will carry with me was our lunch on the steps of the Museum. She looked at me and said, "Mommy I love spending time with you". A word I always love as well as want to hear from my children. So my response back was, "Kit Kat thank you for spending time with me". You know the best part of this is, I love spending time with my daughter. I never feel like it's a task or part of the job. To me it's a joy and a time that is spent just bonding and learning more about my little one.

There were plenty of sharks which happens to be her favorite animal. Just like her daddy!! Of course tons of bones and plenty of artifacts. From there we hit Central Park where we shared a soft pretzel and chit chatted some more. Break dancers were dancing and we also so a man dressed in silver. He reminded Kit Kat of Willie Wonka. Our day ended with having a sketching done of my princess. A wonderful day with my beautiful little princess. I love you baby girl.
