GD1 has been looking forward to her big cousin's 15th birthday party for a couple of weeks. This was at our house yesterday. She arrived with home-made posters and greetings which she blue-tacked to doors and walls. She had invented and set up a kind of treasure hunt game for all 6 children (our 4 GC, plus the two cousins from DIL's family). But the thing she had worked hardest on was a special song to the birthday boy.
She was very nervous about singing it to him, and wouldn't do it in front of anyone else, but GS1 absolutely loved it. The words were really appropriate and it was his kins of music!
It took a bit of persuading, but eventually she agreed to sing it again for everybody to hear. I announced her "Miss GD1 would like to entertain you with the song she composed especially for GS1's 15 th birthday, so please give a warm welcome to her ...."
Everyone clapped, and we waited with baited breath! GD1 stood tall, took a deep breath, and sang! She tapped her foot with metronome precision for the rhythm, and sang beautifully. She got a great round of applause from her audience, and was so pleased she'd been brave enough to do it. GS1 was standing there as proud as punch, too!
I can't post a pic at the moment, but will try again later.
