It’s hard for me to believe that my baby…my first born….my little tiny…..okay, who am I kidding?\u00c2\u00a0 She was a GINORMOUS FAT BABY, but still, she was my first…..and now she’s ELEVEN!<\/p>\nIt’s hard for me to believe that my baby…my first born….my little tiny…..okay, who am I kidding?\u00c2\u00a0 She was a GINORMOUS FAT BABY, but still, she was my first…..and now she’s ELEVEN!<\/p>\n
Where did the time go?\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Angelica is growing up so fast, and every day she’s getting more and more beautiful.\u00c2\u00a0 Every day she’s getting older and more mature and responsible.\u00c2\u00a0 Every day I’m a little bit prouder to be her mom……except for those days that the pre-PMS hormones are taking over and I just want to ship her to Antarctica because those days….those days are BRUTAL.<\/p>\n
The eye rolling and the sneering and the look that says “Whatever!!!” as loudly as if she were screaming it to our faces, the sobbing and running down to hide in her room because we DARED to question her on one of her choices…..all of these, BOY ARE THESE FUN!<\/p>\n
But, the realization, when she “gets” that what we are trying to do is to “help” her to learn “How to make wise choices.”\u00c2\u00a0 When that realization hits and she understands that we are on her side, cheering her on and wanting her to suceed…..that makes up for all the other stuff that I mentioned that’s not so much fun.<\/p>\n
But it’s all fun.\u00c2\u00a0 We’re learning together, and growing together and it’s fun and we’re making memories that will last a life time…..and some of those memories are soooooo funny, maybe Geli can’t laugh about them right now, but one day….one day this will all be funny!<\/p>\n
Until then, we will hug lots, love hard and laugh often.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
