Quality

My helper (Emily) is asleep and there is no post from her.

For the last couple of weeks, Wednesdays have been crazy busy for Emily, she goes to school and attend her Coop program. After school, she goes to tutoring for 2 hours, working on her writing than we eat a light dinner before going to cheer practice for an intense hour in preparation for her upcoming competition this weekend.

The letter “Q”, I thought about Quebec than a good friend suggested Quirky which I loved…. I think Emily might have ended-up with Quack and tried to recycle her Duck story.

As I am the one writing, I decided to go with Quality.

Being Emily’s mom, has changed my perspective on many things, she has redefined my life, redefined perfection and given me many life lessons.

I look at quality as a way to describe a moment.

A cuddle, a kiss, a laugh…. quality just like perfection is in the eye of the beholder and to me, Emily and all that she does represents perfection.

The texts she wrote so far in this challenge are short but they are full of Emily, her personality shows in her text… Quality over Quantity!

Emily is not define by her Cri du Chat Syndrome diagnosis, she makes her way, follows on her own path and defines herself and us along the way.

Music

I think my girl just realized that 26 stories in 30 days is a lot of work so she’s sitting on the couch watching Sam and Cat on Netflix while playing on her Nintendo DS.

She picked Music for the letter M so I will tell you about the only concert we’ve attended.

On July 1st, last year, Emily and I attended the R5 concert!

R5 is a band made up of 4 siblings and 1 friend. Of the siblings, Ross, the lead singer is really well known to the little ones as Austin Moon in Austin and Ally on the Disney Channel. The oldest sibling and base player is Riker Lynch which Emily discovered on Dancing With The Stars.

Riker is Emily’s favorite!

To make this concert even better, I bought Emily the meet and greet pass!

It was more like get behind the curtain, get your picture taken and move on than a meet and greet but my girl was happy so I am happy!

Just before entering the room for the picture, Emily told the lady that Riker was her favorite so they had her stand between Riker and Ross!!!

See that look on my girl’s face?

I believe the photographer captured the moment when Emily decided to go for it!

As soon as the picture was taken, Emily turned to her right, told Riker she loved him and hugged him with everything she had!

My girl!!!

Riker said he loved her too and hugged her back!

I am so proud of my girl for seeing an opportunity and going for it!

How I wished I had a chance to squeeze Donnie Walhberg that way when I was her age

We had awesome seats in the VIP section!

It was a “rock” concert. It was really loud ans the light show was impressive!

Look at my girl!

This is my girl with sensory issues!

She stayed for the whole show, on her feet, singing and dancing till the end.

I explained to her about the “encore”

Than as soon as the lights were on, she said: “Let’s get out of here!”

On the way home, she was super excited about the experience and about hugging Riker. When I asked her if she wanted to do this again, she said no!
