Note: That reference doesn't have anything to do with her body type - more her attitude.
We're doing braces and middle school (ours goes through 9th grade, so she'll be there 2 more years). We're doing "late nights" and begging for sleep-overs (which is a definite no-no in our house). We're walking to the neighborhood icy hut to get slushies with friends and rolling our eyes every which way whenever someone in authority speaks.
Ah, love the teenage years. Actually, I like her more and more every year.
She has told everyone that this is her "golden year" - she is turning 14 on the 14th in the year 2014. So she invited 14 friends to her party (sadly, only 7 could come - but family made up the numbers). She wrote the caption on her birthday cake:
I think she understands that a birthday party is a gift you give to your friends. She did all the planning and executing of her birthday party. I do not do birthday parties well - but Bonnie does.
Everyone had a great time. I tried to keep the other kids away from the party, even going so far as to walk them to get slushies. Bringing them back just in time for ice cream. A banner day for sweets - they loved it.
Happy 14th, baby girl!
14 14 14. Yup, I'd say that was a banner year! she is such a great person, and growing so much every year. Tell her Happy Birthday for me!
