Adventures in Real Parenting: No Matter What You Call Her....

The Baby...Cupcake...Resident Evil...Garbo...RezE....Sophia...she leaves elementary school behind tomorrow. I'm a bit stunned that we'll no longer have a little kid in the house.  Of course, as far as she is concerned, we haven't had a little kid in the house for a long time.

A couple of days ago, she mentioned that she doesn't really want to grow up.  I told her there was no rush.......







May middle school be easy on you, kid.

Love,

Mama

    It's a big thing changing schools I hope the transition is painless.

    Oh, my goodness! Graduating from elementary already - it seems like it happened so fast. Congratulations, Sophia!

    I'm glad her growing up has been a part of my life for these past few years. And she'll do fine in middle school, she comes from a good background.

    WOW! Middle school already? That's huge. I hope she has a great summer and fun "not growing up yet".
    Cheers,

    Middle school years are the worst, I've discovered, especially for girls, as they enter that "mean girls" phase. Moriah has had a bit of a rough go, and I am actually looking forward to her moving on to high school if only because then, I do hope, the whole social scene becomes something a bit less problematic.

    Congrats, Sophie - and to you and Doug, too.

    Sophia reminds me a lot of a little girl at my school - she is younger but a similar hot ticket!

    I love that collage. How'd ya do that? :-)

    She is a cutey-pie. Looking more and more like her older sister, facially. Watch out! :-D

    She's a cool kid. That will surely help in middle school. You guys did a great job. And you sure bred pretty ones.

    Since you've no doubt equipped her with a supply of James Bond-ian weaponry, I'm sure she'll do just fine.

    awww, middle school is my favorite age! (which is lucky, since I spend my days completely outnumbered by them!)
