She is enjoying reading all of your posts. We went back to the archives and read "Remembering Mac." Mimi really enjoyed it. She said you write very well. She seems very proud. <BR/><BR/>We love you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24945617.post-90087200624198232272008-05-15T20:45:00.000-04:002008-05-15T20:45:00.000-04:00The tween years.

We layed the ground rule of no weird, unnatural colors and left it at that. My older girls' hair went up, down, up, down for years depending on her mood. I learned that I had to pick my battles or else everything would become a power struggle. So I let the hair one go in favor of standing my ground with such things as piercings. Sounds like you are pretty on top of what is going on with her and that's great. I love how you diffused with the penguin sticker. You're a good mom.Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757963698816530787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24945617.post-41743547406157011212008-05-15T20:37:00.000-04:002008-05-15T20:37:00.000-04:00Things will just move on from here!

She gets upset if we ever say no to her great ideas and I can't even come into dance to pay tuition. Things will get rougher but it will pass (some days it feels like it never will).

She's already told me I'd embarrass her if I helped her take her science project into school. I was hurt at first, but now I realize that it's perfectly natural, and I take what I can get. I want her to know I'm there for her always.<BR/><BR/>We haven't watched Phineas & Ferb yet, but she's really into the other Disney shows.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14488537925889589851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24945617.post-60644697138594904212008-05-15T11:09:00.000-04:002008-05-15T11:09:00.000-04:00Yeah, I think we're entering into that stage, too....Yeah, I think we're entering into that stage, too.<BR/>My fish get so embarrassed when I ask them to do tricks for company.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24945617.post-70246203759212813592008-05-15T08:43:00.000-04:002008-05-15T08:43:00.000-04:00Aw, this is such a sweet post.

My 6 year old begs me every morning to 'surprise' her with a note in her lunch bag.

Sitting down to watch her show with her obviously meant a lot. Just this morning my 3-year-old wanted me to watch something with her but I told her I needed to shower. (That is why I let them watch TV, after all. To keep them out of trouble while I shower!) but maybe I need to change my routine sometimes so I can spend a little time doing something she likes to do, along with her.Jen Rousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15318797787773072481noreply@blogger.com
