She Earned It!

Yesterday was an amazing day! My beautiful daughter learned her first big lesson in life, which is with hard work rewards are earned. My little girl was finally promoted to a yellow belt in MMA yesterday and for those of you that don't know MMA stands for mixed martial arts.

 I am one proud momma! The look on her face when her coach tossed her, her yellow shirt was priceless. I wanted to cry I was so proud but did I mention we were in a MMA gym. Lord knows I don't want anyone to see me cry in there, even tears of joy because these are some tough people and I can't be embarrassing my baby on her big day.

Ayanna has only been doing this for about 6 months and she is just excelling at this sport. She is petite like me but doggone if she isn't a tough cookie! I love love love that my husband had this brilliant idea of putting her in this sport. I thought it was a good idea as well but i didn't realize all the benefits it would provide to my daughter. She has become so confident since starting this sport, she is so sure of herself and I for one cannot remember a time where I was ever as confident as my young 6 year old daughter is. I mean this little girl takes the boys down in her class like its no big deal, and I am all about girl power..hahaha.

I don't get many great days like this so I have to brag! She brings me so much hope everyday. Watching her takes me to new limits and heights. She makes me want to get better because I want to be able to participate with her and I want to be able to take her to do these awesome things. I thank God everyday for my angel because she is my muse, she keeps me going and she makes me strive for better.

So with that being said CONGRATULATIONS to my baby girl and here's to watching you accomplish so much more!
