She is anxious. Growing up, but you can tell she is a little lost. I watched them the other night and the sweet girl painted our nails....pee your pants hilarious. We did a movie marathon with the Spy Kids series. And then we just talked until her dad came home.
She talked about how the teacher uses her to reexplain what the assignment is for the kids who were not paying attention. She is super annoyed by this.....hilarious! It sounds like her advisory teacher likes to vent to either her or the class...but I'm guessing it's her. And she wanted to hear stories of when she was a baby and you were pregnant with her. She loves hearing about you and how much you loved her.
She's 13.....unbelievable. For Christmas she wants gift cards....unthinkable for Grammy......art supplies and red plaid clothing. Gone are the days of cute dresses, now it's black leggings and sporty t-shirts. Grammy says she is ready for 0 petite size clothing.....and we begin the awkward clothing phase. You remember our awkward 80's phase? Stir-up pants, oversized shirts, neon colors, and big earrings. Speaking of big jewelry....I had a student who picked out the biggest piece of jewelry in my prize box (from Aunt Phyllis....so you know it was big). He said, "I'm from Milwaukee and we like to wear big jewelry." So cute...he wore that necklace like he was Tupac down the hallway of our school; so proud...chest out and head held up high......This big blinged out cross that took up half his chest, for the world to see.
Your first born, remembered the Lord's Prayer and I will continue to say it with them every chance that I get to put them to bed. A remembrance of his will, forgiveness, power, and glory forever.....even while our tears are streaming down our faces.....a much needed reminder.
