Happy Birthday Big Girl!

Today is Sarah's 9th birthday.  Nine.  It only makes sense since Andy turned 12 in February, but it just goes so amazingly fast.  She is turning into such an amazing person and is becoming more reasonable and understanding and funny and empathetic and apologetic and worldly everyday.  She is also such a beautiful person inside and out and a wonderful friend.  There are still things about her that drive me crazy, but I don't think that will ever change.

A few weeks ago we were in the bathroom at the airport and she pointed at a Tampax machine and asked me what it was.  I used to say that it was something for women but she didn't need to know about it for a long time and she would learn then.  This time I told her that I would tell her later and it was something she needed to know about, but the airport wasn't exactly the right place.  I can't believe I'm at that point where I need to tell my sweet, little, princess loving girl about the birds and the bees and her changing body.  Hopefully she is will be a little behind her friends, but it is going to come sooner than later.

In the meantime I will enjoy the sweet little girl I have and enjoy the time we still have before she doesn't want anything to do with us anymore!
