The honor of being wuved by a little SonM topped out my cuteness meter long ago, rendering it useless for further assessments. While it's possible a grandchild might breathe new life into it and cause it to re-calibrate, whatever it came up with wouldn't accurately reflect what I truly value and treasure in children.
What I see revealed in this rendition is purpose, encouragement, adaptability, along with a reservoir of wonderfulness, confidence and desire all being tapped into and released. Children are marvelously similar and unique, full of potential, purpose, energy and an inner commitment to learn, do, practice and BE!
Seeing that is almost as good as being wuved.
I especially enjoyed hearing him find a way to get through the hard high part by compressing it in something he could manage. Well done!
She just re-upped on a contract for a national (+ international) musical tour. I am so proud of our niece. A week ago, she and I got to do a mani-pedi together and then get to go dinner, and I felt so lucky to get that half day within her brief time back with everyone (recall: I was raised by musicians, and it is hard work). She's one of the few who got snatched out of performing arts college-stuff because she "got the part," very young.
Make no mistake: I'm taking no credit for this. She's a niece, not my child. That said, I called it both back then, throughout the years, and also when she went for a supposed long-shot tryout for a part that she got at 19. (Who knows what will happen later. But it's a great opportunity at a young age, in this era.) Perhaps my raising by dual-musician parents sparked a tad of recognition??

The cuteness meter just broke.
The more you expose a kid to that song, the more patriotic he becomes.
Even Barbra Streisand, before she went completely round the bend, said it was grand.
That song's a bitch. The only easy part is the end of it -- Play Ball!

It's amazing how nearly all children who speak english have that same affect at that age.
