Friday night brought about a long-anticipated suprise for my little girl. You see, Rachel is a Rockstar. She and her three best friends have been calling themselves “the Cheetah Girls” after the Disney group since last year. So a few months ago I was alerted to the fact that the original Cheetah’s would be playing in concert here in NH, and got my baby and me tickets. And didn’t tell her. This week, I told her we would have a night out together, just the two of us. With Mommy working so much on Sereknity, she has been feeling serious mommy-itis. (Of course, if I worked out of the home, I don’t think it would be so bad, but since she can see me, hear me, and touch me, she doesn’t really get why she can’t have me. But I digress…) This night was going to mean a lot to her. I arranged a manicure with my good friend Kendra, and being in on the secret, she designed fabulous pink Cheetah nails for Rachel…
I decked her out in the perfect Cheetah-licious outfit, we had dinner, and then off we went! And she still had NO CLUE where we were going…
Until we were right in front of the venue and I had her close her eyes, put the ticket in her hand, and told her to open her eyes and read…
SUCCESS!
What a great time. Of course the Cheetah’s are a bit hokey for my taste, but perfect for a seven year old, and I’m sure she wants to be a Rockstar now more than ever. So happy was she that during intermission when I asked her if she wanted to go get a t-shirt (30 bucks!) or poster or something she said, “No, Mommy, I have EVERYTHING I want.” sigh. I love my baby.
(and NO, I did NOT knit one stitch that night, and it was good. I had everything I wanted.)
You are a Rockin’ Mommy!! I Love her surprised look with the ticket!! Something to remember forever!! Rock on Momma!!
Oh yeah…found witchy :):) whew!!
What a beautiful little girl! The photo when she sees the ticket is priceless.
PS: Don’t forget to make Tashi some yo-yos for Xmas. x
What a fantastic surprise for your daughter! I hope that my secret surprise skeins make you smile at least half as big as she did!
oops! forgot to sign that last one as…
–your knit to spin secret pal!
A sweet wonderful story, brought tears to my eyes. Hope you and your family have happy love filled holiday season. marion
What a beautiful story. It tells so much about you and your love for your daughter.
So sweet!

That is awesome. My daughter somehow missed out on the Cheetah Girls, but has learned hip-hop. Not from me.
You ARE a rockin’ mom! She’ll remember that concert for the rest of her life. =-D
