rebel girl. nine so far
from the age seven to eight she grew almost four inches
from the age eight to nine she grew just a little over three inches
in our kitchen the other day she told me that she hates being a kid and that she can’t wait to be a teenager
we feel differently about this because i can certainly wait for her to be a teen
although, i have to tell you, she already very much acts like a teen these days
there is attitude
and mood swings
her favorite color is black
she hates the color pink
her body is changing and we talked all about its future changes with her pediatrician at her check up this year (period included although Lily has known about it for quite some years now)
her style is very much her own style and she knows quite well how she sees herself and how she wants to put herself out there to the world
like she always has
since she was very little actually
yet, despite all of these pre-teen growing signs, she still climbs into my lap every morning after she eats her breakfast and asks for snuggle cuddles in her bed before going to sleep at night
and all i can do is be there for her and try to hold onto every moment because time really does go by too fast
happy friday friends
