Today my beloved baby girl Alex turns 13...a very transitional and turbulant time for a girl...not quite a woman...not a "little girl". I asked her if there was any special way she wanted to celebrate this weekend...sleepover with friends, party at the Teen hangout place, ect...she said "just spend it with my family..." I was stunned. She wants a quiet day with Mom and Dad and grandparents ares stopping by for cake. She has beautiful long straight hair down to her waist and she announced she wants a short cut...I thought this is her way of dealing with this transition...and I am honoring that. ( although to see those long locks I have loved so fall on the floor of a beauty salon will hurt in my gut). How did you cope with the year 13?...how did your daughters and sons cope?

Thats what both my neices did when they turned 13 now that I think about it.
Making a gallant gesture like that will make the transition have even more meaning to her I would think.
you can be oh so smart, or you can be oh so positive. I wasted a lot of time being smart I prefer being positive. |
