When I play them for her now, she just looks at me funny.

When Sophie was baby, barely speaking, she sang along to “Someday, Someway” by Marshall Crenshaw, and created her own lyrics to The Buggles “Video Killed the Radio Star.” She doesn’t barely recalls those songs anymore. On of the joys of parenting is pushing your favorite music on to your children. I love her dearly and she is the reason Paul Simon’s “Father & Daughter” is on of my favorite basement songs.

Sophie is a remarkable, smart, talented little girl who is growing up to quickly. It’s not all about hot dogs and cotton candy. Sophie really tries to follow the game, asking questions about the players and how baseball is played. We have as been to several Dodgers games in the past couple of years. Something else we love to do is watching baseball games. I’m excited because today she is coming to spend the whole day at work with me, part of a “bring your child to work” activity the studio is having. Because of these fears, I try to set aside time and activities for just the two of us. I can tell her “I love you” until I’m blue in the face, but unless my actions show it, these are just words. My concerns run deep ranging from how does her brother’s disease affect her to is she receiving enough attention? The greatest fear I have for my daughter is that she somehow feels a lack of love on my part.
