Do I win the coolest Mom ever t-shirt yet?

So, I have a tendency with my kids to get a little emotional at certain times...I cannot watch a DisneyWorld parade without sobbing into my $12 Mickey shaped cotton candy, First Birthdays send me into a 2 week period of tears, remember whens and OMG he/she's not a baby any more...they are practically in college!!! So I was pretty sure on Wednesday that I was heading for one of these moments as the time was finally here for MAISIE'S FIRST POP CONCERT!!!!!

My first concert way back in....well, it was a while ago, was to Wham! Wembley Arena, me and 10,000 other screaming girls & my poor brother who volunteered for the task of taking myself & a friend. I still have the t-shirt, I'm still in denial of George and all his drama, one day he'll say it was all a publicity stunt, he's realized the error of his ways & we'll live happily ever after together.

Maisie's first concert...the one and only KATY PERRY!!!! The pictures pretty much say it all, she had an AMZING time, Katy was awesome and we both LOVED it...

About half way thru she screamed into my ear "I WANT TO BE KATY PERRY FOR HALLOWEEN" to which I screamed back "OK" and then this outfit showed up on stage!!!!! 

Maisie....I changed my mind!

The morning after was however a little rough on my girl, she's had a headache all day, gee I wonder why! But she's also had a grin going from ear to ear on her face all day too...

So the big question....did I lose it? Bawl like a baby over my baby loving her (pre)Teenage Dream?

Nope...

Ok, sort of...not at the concert, I was too busy, singing, dancing and screaming along with her, but today when I looked at the mostly awful photos & then finally on this video, which basically tells you just how happy she was, I had a little sniffle or two...my girlie is growing up & as much as I miss the hair bows, stick figure drawings and all the rest of it, this new bit is pretty darn cool, and so am I...

(well at least for now in her eyes)
