As a parent you are happy if your children are born healthy with all their fingers and toes let alone be able be able to make it in the world. You do the very best job you can and just hope for the best! I remind myself daily that while I may not be the “perfect” parent I do the very best I can and really try to learn from my mistakes as best I can. With four children I feel that I get better. Wiser and more adaptable as the years roll on. With a son heading off to college next year, a daughter about to complete her freshman year in high school, another son finishing his first year in middle school and a daughter excited to begin fourth grade next year we get to experience different parts of childhood and adolescence all at the same time!
Our baby girl will turn ten this summer and she is SO excited because we are allowing her to have a slumber party this year! Weather permitting we will also have a pool party. Our daughter has also informed us that she really wants a childrens acoustic guitar for her big birthday! My husband has really jumped on this idea and believes that he has already found a beginner childrens guitar that will be the perfect fit for our little musician! Heck maybe we will even give her this cute little amateur guitar early so she can show it off to her friends at the slumber party and even play a little ditty for them! All in all I think that his will be a gift the whole family will enjoy!
