The other occupation that Ada seems to be drawn to is ROCKSTAR. 

One of her friends, probably one with an older sibling, taught Ada about Hanna Montana. And that little miss Montana was indeed a ROCKSTAR and therefore someone to be emulated. 

God help us now. 

Anyway, Ada has always been a little bit performance driven. She likes to move her body to music and thanks to a long standing family tradition, she also likes to make up her own songs. I didn't say we had a long standing tradition of making up GOOD songs, just songs. So we'll often find Ada singing through entire hours of her day. You combine the performance, and the inhibition towards song writing and BAM you get a little mini ROCKSTAR in training. 

Right around the time the whole Miley Cyrus (aka Hanna Montana) pot smoking story broke Ada seemed to amp up her desire to play ROCKSTAR, and in particular to be the one, the only, Hanna Montana. 

I'll admit it. 

I couldn't handle the image of my little angel pretending to be this person who was doing things that some would argue are way to adult for the real Hanna Montana to be doing, let alone a little 4 year old. I also didn't want to let Ada get away with just imitating art, especially not when she is so good at creating it... 

So we struck a deal.. 

Ada could play ROCKSTAR if she came up with her own moniker. After much deliberation and a few denied offerings from mommy, she came up with Natalie Sunshine. And so a star, or really a ROCKSTAR, was born. 

Behold... NATALIE SUUUUNNNNSHINE!!!!
