In other news... Kyra was involved in the musical this year at her middle school. I guess it is a pretty big deal for 6th graders to be part of it and to have a singing role taboot! It took alot of her time after school this fall but it was totally worth it she said... "I am a hot box girl now." She was stoked to try something other than sports (although she is still giving those a shot too) and she has fallen in love with singing and preforming. The other day she asked me if I would buy one of her albums when she is famous. I explained to her that although it is great to have goals... she should probably have a "fallback" option... and yes of course I will buy her album (although I think family should get a discount of something). And she told me that when she is not on tour (super cute) she likes to write so maybe she will be a journalist or something.... adorable I tell you! Her father has informed her that there is no degree in college to be a "superstar" so she will have to start thinking about what else she is interested in... all she said was- definitely nothing to do with math- YUCK... have I mentioned how much I love this girl! She needs to smile more though on stage. She explained to me that she was concentrating during the show but it just looked like she was constipated... nervous or not I told her she needs to smile at least a little... so she is going to try :) Kyra had so much fun with her "guys and dolls" experience that she has tried out for the show choir as well---- and she got in! I knew with a little confidence she could do great things- nurture versus nature here people. Next on her list... a padded bra :)

Kyra's Musical Debut...
I have had an epiphany... and I am so glad to share it! My Kyra Jean (really Kyra Winters) is a truly wonderful child. I guess I got so caught up in the "trying to be a good mom" and "teach her valuable lessons" I lost myself in the need for control. What I have just realized is that I don't have control... as the step mom I literally have no control in what she does. But what I have realized... and its pretty awesome- is that I can show her all the great things in life and to help her identify what great opportunities there are for her. I can be a person that she can always go to that will never judge her and loves her no matter what. My little buddy who before she could actually talk would just smile at me with her arms in the air letting me know she wanted me... me. So, after some long and trying months (years probably) I am excited to announce that me and my Kyra dollie are opening a new chapter in our lives together. I am looking forward to guiding her through the next years in her life... I remember they are pretty trying and its going to be an amazing adventure. I got lost in our relationship with balancing too much... and I think I have found my way back to standing next to her again... not over her :) In other news...
