As you can see, she actually got a good night's sleep Saturday into Sunday. Other than that, it's been up at 5:30 a.m. and asleep no earlier than 11:00 p.m. the whole damn time. And she just keeps going. My child is the damn Energizer bunny.

Oh, and at her wind ensemble concert yesterday, she signed her first autograph for a little boy who shyly handed her his program. It was adorable.
My kid is a rock star.
Me, I'm tired just writing about her.
It's good she does it now. She'll probably never have that sort of energy again.
ReplyDeleteMaybe. But probably not.
I'm so amazed by your daughter's energy, and also glad that she goes to a school where she can have a life outside of marching band.
ReplyDeleteNot that the band directors at my high school were demanding. It made perfect sense that they'd chew out a friend of mine for missing practice because he had to go to his grandmother's funeral.
