    Blimey that sent me off for a bit of a sob :o

    I don't know, just when I think I've got this Mum thing sorted something comes along and stirs up a whole lot of... I don't even know :rolleyes:

    I suppose this silly little thing reminds me that every milestone has been difficult, and how we have tough times ahead. If I'm honest, I'm not entirely happy with Amber's idea that she is going to grow up into a teenager and worse still an adult. Her body is starting to change and that little baby I could bundle up and protect is turning into a big person who doesn't realise the world is full of danger. She tries to do things which children her age take for granted, she tries to do things I do, but doesn't realise the kettle can burn and cars can knock you over and kill you. So I am forever trying to find a balance between letting her grow up and keeping her safe.

    Oh listen to me, who'd have thought we'd have all this fuss over a little pair of earrings.

    That's a big time for change in all children, the change in the first year of Secondary is incredible as they become mini-teens and then teens.

    She's so lucky to have such a supportive mum, and I'm sure she'll really appreciate that through her teens, whether she can express that or not (heck I'd say 99% of teenagers don't tell their parents how much they appreciate their parents!).
