A buddy instructed me that the teenager years along with her children are a few of her favourite as a result of that’s when you may really feel issues start to shift from a strictly mum or dad/little one relationship to a deeper degree connection and friendship. I beloved that and might see our wheels delivering that course. Don’t get me incorrect, I’ll all the time be mum or dad first for these years as a result of even massive children nonetheless want boundaries and course, however there’s a deeper connection forming as we watch her uncover and develop into who she is a bit more every year.

She is aggressive in sports activities and board video games. She is aware of learn how to push her sister’s buttons. She likes to have a plan and construction. She likes to exercise and run with David and me. She enjoys hikes, being exterior, and adventures. She isn’t an enormous fan of cities or locations with too many individuals. She’s a caretaker.

This has been an enormous 12 months for her. She’s going by means of an enormous transition, from the home she’s recognized her entire life, to nomad, to new dwelling (hopefully this month). She’s dealt with all of it with a number of grace; I’m so happy with her. I actually really feel like this coming 12 months she is going to thrive. She has a quiet confidence in who she is, one thing I deeply admire about her.
