Time

I'm feeling a little down this week. My baby is growing up! I only have one child. My daughter, Alanna, who is 13. I am unable to have any more children, so that makes the fact that my daughter is getting older even more difficult. Seems like she went from being a goofy kid to this sassy, smart, beautiful teenager pretty much over night. She has her first semi-formal dance tomorrow night. So, the last week has been spent getting her hair trimmed, eyebrows done, dress and shoe shopping, and nails done. Today was the first time I let her get acrylic nails. I think that is kind of a milestone for girls...getting fake nails. Seems silly, but it is. I still remember the first time I got them. Anyways, after going about 10 different places trying to find the perfect shoes to go with her dress, we finally found some today. She got home from getting her nails done and then went to try on the shoes with the dress to see how it looked together. OH MY GOSH!! She looked so grown up. I can't. I just can't.  I miss my baby girl. =(
