Next American Idol

I think Toni may have a future in music. I forgot to post this a few days ago but she now sings along when I sing the ABC's. Well obviously not literally singing the ABC's but she'll let out a loud "ahhh" that sustains for a little. Not just an "ah" but an "ahhhh." Oh! And the other day when I spent the day at my brothers I was playing the piano (oh how I miss my piano and playing it... you can really relieve stress or let yourself go when you play the piano) I played some ballads
(well just with one hand b/c I was holding Toni) and she would sing along to that as well. Now when I tried playing some sonatinas, she could care less. But play a ballad and she'll sing along. She sang to Alicia Keyes' 'If I Ain't Got You' and to Mariah Carey's 'Hero.' That last one was really cool for me because at my wedding that was my father-daughter song except my dad was so sick he couldn't even bare to stand for a few seconds without completely losing his breath. So I never really got my father-daughter dance. I danced with my brothers and nephew instead. So yeah, that song is a bit of an emotional one for me. Good thing throughout my life, my dad always danced with me anyway regardless. So I have that to be thankful for. Too bad I took it for granted, right? Well... life goes on...

Did I mention that I am now losing all that hair that I kept while pregnant. Yup, with all the pieces that are slowly bringing me back to life, my hair, too, is falling out. How I miss having thick hair! I never thought I'd say that. When I was much younger, I had TOO much hair! Rubber bands were tough to put on and clips had to be the jumbo sized ones. Now I can use the little clips to hold my hair up. Sigh... aging sucks! Well hopefully I'll atleast retain that asian gene where I can age 30-40 years and still look at least 20 years younger than I really am.
