This image was in my FB feed tonight and inspired this post...
Oh, I know the truth is upon me, but sometime I want it to just come out and other times I am so NOT ready for it all to come crashing down.
I bought bras for Hope today at Kohls. We had a conversation yesterday about puberty (or at least I tried). So far, she still believes in all of the above, but I know it is coming in the next year (likely). Oh, I won't deny that I have said I am ready for it, but now...maybe not so much.
Oh my...parenting a pre-teen (I guess that is what they call them now), there are now good words to describe it. She is definitely hormonal and SASSY! Oh my! Good thing I get nights out with my sister(s) and friends to help offset the stress of being a mom!
So I mentioned the conversation above...I wanted Hope to know that she can talk to me or ask me questions about anything. All I got from her was..."mom this is SO EMBARRASSING" and " I don't want to talk about this" from her. I am fine with that as long as she remembers if she REALLY needs to talk to me or has questions I want her to come to me. Now I just have to pray that the appropriate answers come to me if she ever does have any questions or something she wants to talk about. OY!
For now, I will still appreciate the "Santa, tooth fairy and Easter bunny" moments while I can.
Speaking of Santa, here are a few (or 15) Christmas cards to share with you...
Well, have a great weekend! Until next time...
