Mother's Day

Sidenote: I apologize for the quality, but you will get the idea - Also, when she says turn it around, she wants me to turn the viewfinder around so that she can watch herself preform. I thought that I would put the lyrics - she made a few little changes, but you get the idea. I love the internet because I didn't even remember where she learned this song.

I want a mom that will last forever

I want a mom to make it all better

I want a mom that will last forever

I want a mom who love me whatever

I want a mom to take my hand

And make me feel like a holiday

A mom to tuck me in at night

And chase the monsters away

I want a mom to read me stories

And sing a lullaby

And if I have a bad dream, to hold me when I cry

I randomly came across this video a couple of days ago. What perfect timing! Tiana was 3 1/2. I am really bad at home movies and such, and after seeing this I am really kicking myself for not being better (working on this). Why did I not have a camera on Tiana at all times. Thank goodness for cell phones with camera, otherwise I would have nothing. Anyway, this is my Mother's Day present to myself and to all of the second mother's in Tiana's life. There are so many of you that I should be thanking everyday for loving her, teaching her, and caring for her. I know that I could not have raised Tiana for the last 7 1/2 years without all of you (okay so I could have raised her, but it would have been a much different experience - Edgar, you are included in this - I couldn't have done it without you - even when you are away). If any of you really know Tiana, you will also know how much she loves all of you. Tiana is all about showing love to the people in her life (something else that I am trying to improve on). She rarely, if ever, says that she loves one person more than another. I don't think that she even really understands the concept of favoritism. We are always trying to get her to say who she loves best (mom vs dad, YaYa vs Papi, Micky vs Molly, etc) but her answer is always "I love you both". Her love is pure and unconditional. She has been this way her whole life and I really hope that this is a quality that she always possesses. I hope you all enjoy this even half as much as I did.
