Studio for Dreams: Learning who we are

5 years ago, when my daughter was born I learnt that I could be stronger than I ever imagined. Ever since then I feel some magic power in me, simply because she is around me.

Yesterday we went on a kids program and again something magical happened. I used to be very shy when I was young. (I'm still shy when Efe is at school, lol) But when she is there with me I feel like we could change the world together. There was a concert for the kids and all the local kids went close to the stage to catch some present. She got upset, because she wanted a present too. So we went there too, I picked her up so that she can see and nobody steps on her. And when the singer started to throw the presents a ball fell on our hands. So that was it, we got a blue ball with white dots. I was so happy, I was never good at catching balls, lol. And she started crying. Not this is what she wanted. This freaked me out a bit, but seeing the local kids pushy behavior I didn't bother, I thought we gonna go for another present. And when the singer mentioned puzzle game I told her to rise her hand. Obviously she picked us (she was watching us for awhile), even when those pushy local kids started to run towards the stage, she told them off and kept on pointing at us. So up we went. And I didn't feel the slightest shyness in me anymore. I knew she wouldn't have gone to the stage on her own, but normally I would feel the same. But this way that we were there for each other it was totally different.

We were against 2 boys to complete a puzzle while Csepregi Eva was singing a song. And guess what. We won. (even with my right arm that I hardly felt at that stage, because I have been dancing there for some time with Efe in my arms.) We got loads of presents, so finally she was happy.

Do you feel any kind of magic power in you since you had kids? What have you done by their influence that you would never do otherwise? Please tell us your story in the comments below, I would love to hear!
