Have I ever mentioned how the mere fact that I have a daughter makes me very talented in several fields? It’s true. She brings it all out in me.

Read on…

1. Singer: We sing quite loudly and even have a few pretend mikes around the house. We have even made up a few songs. I should put them to paper. Stay tuned for our album. Greatest Gospel Hits by Peanut and the Mom

2. Dancer: We dance too. This one makes my husband laugh. I don’t know why as we are so extremely good. Occasionally I’ll pick her up for a dip. Our ballet technique is flawless (grunt).

3. Artist: Be sure and say that with an emphasis on the “i”.  I have never colored or crafted so much in my life except maybe when I was her age. We have so much artwork we can now open that gallery.

4. Crafter: Kind of like the artist one only this challenges me a bit more. I think I have to blame this on the schooling. Each night I have to pull together some great craft for school the next day. And then there are the items I make just for fun. Dollhouse, doll clothes, felt food. You get the idea.

5. Gourmet Chef: My sweet peanut tells me each evening “Mommy. Thank you for this delicious meal.” I would say her father has put her up to it but since I’m so talented in all those other areas maybe it’s just true… hmmm!

6. Event Planner: Her birthday is still a few months away but I’ve already designed the cake in my head, planned gifts, shopped for the ultimate birthday present and alerted a few special guests.

7. Doctor: This I do with my faithful assistant/nurse. We have a special patient called “her father”. Since he works in a sometimes physically demanding job we like to see what the “wound of the week” is going to be. We have it down to a science now. Out comes the blue paper towels, hydrogen peroxide, bandaids, tweezers (for the occasional splinter), and desk lamp (for our surgical procedures). Sometimes we use a few technical words picked up here and there. Our patient loves us. Ignore his grimace.

8. Entomologist: Bugs are our specialty.  I have been forced into this one but I’m getting rather good… on how to get rid of them.

I could go on but as you can see I am SOOOO talented I amaze myself.
