I dreaded it so much, it made me nauseated. You know what I discovered? She is so much more fun and cool to be around. We get along so well, and I LOVE being with her. Not that I didn't before, but now I can talk to her about things I couldn't when she was a little girl. She's a young lady now, and I'm blown away by her confidence, her compassion, her talent, and her intelligence. She's a remarkable young woman, and I'm so proud to be her mom. Embrace your daughter's growth; it's such a gift. I really dreaded my daughter becoming a high school freshman this year. I dreaded it so much, it made me nauseated. You know what I discovered?

Clearly I'm in denial. Think I'll take that gin & tonic now. I’m almost afraid to read your links. Clearly I’m in denial. Think I’ll take that gin & tonic now.

Sometimes I wonder if my parents left those on as a big fat hint for me. I'm with you...I want my sweet little girl to stay that way for a while longer.

Having their own stupid designation (tweens) doesn't help either. Once they're aware of it, it almost makes them act older, which, as you may have guessed...IDONOTWANT! (also, I tried a couple times to comment on your blog the other day and the comment page/form never loaded) Yeah 4th/5th grade seems to be one of the bigger turning points.
