Recently it has hit me that somehow my daughter has grown up and is no longer the little girl that she once was. How did this happen? Of course I know the biology of it. And I know that eventually she had to grow up. But why do I feel so blindsided by it? It seems like only yesterday that she was the size of Alex. Now she is turning into this beautiful young girl that I am very proud of.
She has always acted a bit older for her age. And she can hold a conversation with educated adults without batting an eyelash. I guess I just expected her to depend on me a little bit longer than she has....It won't be long before I will be dealing with the problems involved with having a teenager. This girl is more stubborn and hardheaded than I was at that age and that scares me a bit. It took me a while to grow into my attitude. She was born with hers.
