I have just read a post by one of the RTE "likers" from Facebook - Beverly, and how she describes her little girl as a china doll with a heartbeat and she also told me that she is "just an angel from heaven". Her beautiful comments reminded me of my own two girls.
I have 5 children (almost all grown up) and the two youngest are daughters - Hannah (17) and Frankie (15). I also have three stunning boys (all young men now, but I will write on them another time) however, after three boys I must admit it was so lovely to have a beautiful little girl to hold in my arms and admire all her "pinkness and flowers".
So I chose her a song that I would play, and play, and play to her over, and over, and over again - that song was by Prince and is called "The Most Beautiful Girl In The World".
Then along came her little sister Frankie and again I chose her a song (never with effort, they just kind of fell into place for each of them). Frankie's song is by Eternal and is called "Angel of Mine".
I wish I had thought of doing this when I had my boys as it means a lot to the girls to have these special songs that are "theirs" and from their mama. Although, the boys would have only appreciated something from Michael Jackson and I'm not too sure Thriller would have quite had the same meaning.... :-). But like I said, it is something that the girls cherish and so when I have friends with a new baby, I often encourage them to do the same so I thought I might share it with you all, also.
I have added the links for the songs I gave my girls in case you wanted to hear them - I hope that you enjoy them **wipes tears from eyes**
