It's funny the things you do when you have a baby'things you never thought you'd do or want to do. I'm a terrible singer. In my head, I sound like Mariah Carey, but when my voice hits the open air, it comes out tone def, off-key, and definitely not like Mrs. Cannon...at all. Bob was previously the only one whom I subjected my off-key melodies to, despite the fact that he actually sings really well. So most of my adult life, I've been pretty self-conscious of my singing voice and never really sung in public or in front of my friends {I was always the one not singing to the radio during road trips with the girls or suggested something other than karoke}.
Before having Ruby, I worried I wouldn't be a fun mom because I'd feel uncomfortable singing to her or doing silly things that involve reciting the same tune over and over again. But you know what...all of a sudden, I find myself singing more than ever. When we walk, I sing to her what she's seeing, what she's hearing, and tell her where we're going. I make up the cheesiest songs, and I don't care who is around me or if strangers hear me. I even take her to Gymboree. All I want to do is make my baby smile and laugh. It's a funny thing that made me get over my lack of vocal talent real quick! Next, we'll work on my fear of water...but I'll save that for another time. Have a great weekend all. Hope it's full of fun things that make those you love most smile. ' Joy
