Today Caely had her third Activity Days Activity. The girls got together with girls from another Stake and were taught to act lady like. What a fun idea! Caely had so much fun. She met a new girl that gets to be her pen pal. They apparently did A LOT of talking, had some fancy drink and a snack, learned how to sit properly in a dress and use good manners.
As I pulled up to the church and all the girls were outside waiting for the doors to be unlocked, I got a glimpse of what 4yrs. from now will look like. Lots of girl friends and YW activities.
At first I was a little giddy, hoping that we will be the fun house all the kids want to hang out at. Then, I realized that would mean I had a daughter that liked things other than riding a bike, like...BOYS! I also thought about all the dumb fights girls have. and crushes. and school activities. and and and! I know all those things prepare them for adulthood, but WOW! Am I ready for this?!
My two oldest are starting a new phase and I love it! For now.

oh wow. yeah, growing up girls has its fair share of drama, fights and fits, - but it also is one of the funnest things when you have those moments when you see the young woman that lies beneath the drama. And you can see the glimmerings of a treasured friend.
I love your posts! I love the way you look at things and put them into such lovely, expressive words. I miss you every day. :) I can't believe that Kaely is in AD!
