Those Family Moments.

I just love father, daughter moments. They're my favourite. Because Daniel and Sophie are so much a like they just get along SO well. They both sing (even though she is two according to Daniel and Peter, Daniel's dad, she sings in tune) She loves music. Any kind of music. We mainly listening to Worship or Crock (Christian Rock) She knows all of the sings all the time. About EVERYTHING, even chicken nuggets. They are just so much alike it's crazy. I just love my little family! 

Girls will be Girls.

My mum always said that when she had a baby girl, she wanted her to love pink and fairies and all the pretty little things girls should like. When she had me, she thought 'Yes! I finally have a little girl that can do all those pink things i wanted'. Unfortunately I was the complete opposite. I loved army figurines and dinosaurs. I loved to pretend i was an elephant instead of a fairy. I guess having a big brother kinda helped me be like that. I also never really liked dresses and hated the colour pink. Instead wearing my brothers old mambo shirts and old basketball shirts, plus my love for the colour green really threw the idea of a pink girl out of the window.

When I found out I was pregnant, all i wanted was a boy. I didn't find out what the baby was but i told everyone that it was a boy. At my baby shower i got green and blue things, which made me even more excited for a baby boy. The only person who KNEW the baby was a girl was Daniel's Nana. She's the stereotypical Nana type (which is NOT a bad thing. It was all i wanted when i was young. Someone to make me cookies and have that wonderful Nana smell.). With her soft but beautiful Nana voice she insisted i was having a baby girl and bought me a little pink dress size 0000. I was kinda taken back. I thought 'But i'm having a boy?'. She kept to her feelings and she was right. When Sophie was born I was shocked and a little sad that i didn't get my little boy. 

Daniel always used to say 'It's okay, she'll play soccer'. And that kind of reassured me. Until she grew up a little. She started to wear hair clips and sing pretty songs and dance around like a ballerina . I say to myself 'It's okay she'll play soccer'. But now that i know she is a little pink girl, liking all her Barbie movies and baby dolls, i kinda like the fact that i have a pink girl. So i can dress her up in silly tutu's and do her toe nails. And i can do her hair and make-up and stuff.

What made me think of this is a painting she did at playgroup. The question is "What do you want to be when you grow up?" At the time i thought typical girl..something to do with fairies. But she said clear as day, "I want to be a soccer player". I hope that when she grows up she does what she wants to do and not what anyone else suggests. 

Sometimes children turn out completely different to what you think they're going to be like. I think we just got to love them for them. 

I love having a little girl around. And sometimes my little soccer player. 

My Daniel.

Daniel is the best husband I could ever ask for! He's great! He does what he is told, he does work around the house WITHOUT being asked, he's an amazing father to Sophie and most of all he makes me SUPER happy. He's my best friend, my rock (mushy mushy) and my partner in crime. I just want to headbutt him ALL the time! (headbutting is my sign of affection).

He works Monday to Friday with little complaining and will do anything to make me laugh when I'm feeling down.

All in all I just think he's the bomb. (I don't say that in public, i might get arrested.)
