“Be a Lion”

My #TBT Picture that I chose today was of Sean’s first Halloween. I found the cutest costume in a magazine and my seamstress best friend whom I worked with then made it for Sean;

Ami is STILL my best friend 19 years later! I was talking to her about these pictures and she shared them on Facebook and I also shared the man Facebook. I clearly remember this day:

I still have a costume for future use for my grandkids’ first Halloween, I think. We will have to see how their size coincide with Sean’s size. I stared at these pictures fondly as I rememberEd that day! My mind wondered to a song:

The song fit with my little boy as a lion! I listened to the song I million times because I was cast as Dorothy in my high school’s rendition of The Wiz. The production never came to fruition but that doesn’t mean that I didn’t work really hard on it!

Stephanie Mills uses her chest voice all of the time and that was difficult to sing but back then, I STILL could sing! I listened to that song among others 1 million times until the show was given the axe. I thought of this song has I’ve looked at pictures of my, “Little Lion” from so long ago!
