However due to input from wonderful friends, and consistent and gentle persuasion from my hubbie, we made it happen.
Today my 8 year old took part in a concert for the first time. She has been having a flute lesson a week since August, and she is making progress As a consequence, she was invited to play a part in the concert.
Being unmusical and not having an understanding of the importance of being part of something like this, quite frankly, I struggled rearranging long planned events to ensure she got to play her part.
However things got rearranged and she took part.
Oh my word, what I nearly missed.
I nearly missed a great mummy moment. I was so proud of her standing up there alone, I was shouting (from the inside only) hey everyone, see that girl, she is mine, isn't she amazing.
She truly was. She was the youngest in the event and she was brilliant.
My heart was bursting with pride and my body full of emotion. And that was just me.
She was concentrated, determined, confident and skilled. She oozed serenity and calmness.
She blew us away.
I am so glad I got to be part of this moment. This is one for the memory bank.
Wonderful, wonderful!
