A Colorful Start

I’m proud mama this week. My 7 y.o. started second grade at a new school and my 4 y.o. began her first week at preschool. Both girls had a wonderful week and I couldn’t be happier. It’s going to be a great year!

I have always loved Colors by Kira Willey. Its simple melody and Kira’s soothing voice comforts like a favorite blanket or a warm hug, but after last week, this song has a new meaning for me.

While driving my little one to her first day of preschool last week, we were listening to the Kenny Curtis and The Animal Farm on Kids Place Live on XM. A mom requested the song Colors and dedicated it to her daughter who was starting her first day of preschool. As we listened to the song, a lump formed in my throat and the waterworks began, but the tears soon turned to tears of joy as I listened to my little preschooler singing along to the song. I began chuckling as I listened to her sweet little voice singing the words. All the colors of the rainbow really are in my little one every day.

She is green and chirps with joy like a cricket song.

She is loud and messy like orange finger paint on the wall.

She is red, hopping mad like a playground ball.

She is purple, bright and happy like a butterfly in the air.
