My Daughter is a Rockstar!

Yesterday we had our ward's annual end of summer who-rah party. This year they did a talent show. Kami wanted to participate. She told me she wanted to sing "I love to see the temple". She was gung ho. So we walked up and put her name on the list. I added question marks because...well it's Kami and she a little girl. They chicken out, at least I would.
Well, before her turn, her little friend Ashton got up and sang a winning rendition of "I love to see the temple". She was adorable. I began mini-panicking and thought, well maybe Kami won't remember she wanted to sing. Just then, Kami came up to me and said, "Maybe I should sing something different because she already sang that song." Too cute.
Well, the talent show was coming to an end and Kami's name hadn't been called. The MC even announced the last number, which was not Kami. I thought we would just cut our losses. But Kami was totally bummed! She wanted to perform. So, my little daredevil walked right up to the MC and said "I want to sing "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam."
So the MC, our good friend and primary president, Janice, announced Kami. She stood up on the table, like a rock star, grabbed the microphone and belted out "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam!" So perfectly adorable. She needed a bit of help with the remainder of the song because she hadn't practiced but she totally rocked the house! Singing out, straight into the mic with every chance and grinning from ear to ear. Total rock star daredevil!
I was so proud. Seriously she is too adorable for words. Not to mention the fact that she is a crazy insanely brave little girl. I am still so proud. I just wish I hadn't forgotten my camera. She was so cute!
When I was little I was terribly, frozen stiff, bawling in a corner, shy. Not my Kami. Every week in primary she asks to give the talk/prayer. Every week she loves to stand up in front of everyone, even if it is just to participate in singing time. She loves to be called on, and she loves to be singled out. Silly thing about this, she is still my little one that takes weeks to warm up enough to someone to even smile at them. Go figure?!

Rock on, baby girl! \m/^.^\m/ Rock on!
(that's the rock on symbol for all of you who aren't nearly as hip hip as me...)

  2. I have to agree with your comments about Kami, she was amazing. And honestly the perfect ending to our little talent show. I love that she acts completely shy and hugs my leg during Sharing Time, and yet she still comes up every Sunday and hugs my leg - go figure? She want to be in front of everyone, but likes to act shy. I think she's more like you than you think Brittany!

  3. She was awesome! I was so impressed that she even knew most of the words.

    (And now that I have found you I am stalking you right back! LOL)
