For those of you who haven't met my daughter

I can't believe I almost forgot to introduce my daughter. Her name is Prescilla, but her close friends call her Percy. Here is her latest school picture:



I was finally approved for adoption in June of 2006 and my precious Prescilla was born on July 26, 2006 in Salt Lake Regional Hospital in Salt Lake City, UT. Being a single parent has been quite an adjustment. Probably the biggest and most dramatic adjustment was having to quit my professional career as a breakdancer. At first it was difficult because that was all I was known for, but it didn't take long for me to realize that I was never cut out for a career in that field to begin with. See, being a professional breakdancer is a very unsteady and spontaneous life. You never know when you will have to do a show, where your show will be held, how many people will show up to watch, or whether or not you will end up making a fool out of yourself in front of complete strangers. Currently Percy is an only child and will remain so until I find a suitable father figure for her. She may only be 2 ½ years old, but sometimes I could swear she has the mind of an 80 year old woman! She is a fairly mild tempered child, but does throw temper tantrums every once in awhile. When that happens, I often phone the adoption agency where I found her and let them give her a sound talking to. I will have to admit though......she has changed my life in a very profound way and I will always love her for that. She has made each day a little bit easier and more worthwhile. I am one lucky parent!
