MY OLDEST IS 9

How does it go by so fast.  
I can't believe Avery is 9.  We got to do the Sunday things for her birthday.  We got to sing to her in Primary on her actual birthday, which she liked.  Then we had a nice dinner with my parents and family.  I knew what food Avery would request when my mom asked what she should make.  I told her Avery always asks for crepes.  My mom wanted me to ask her any way.  So I did.  And Avery didn't even stop to think before she said crepes.  So that is what we had.  I also made some super yummy quiche.  

I feel like I'm in a different group of mothers now.  Now I have a child over that big birthday of 8.  And that not all my kids are little anymore.  Avery even has started to get zits.  (Weird)  I'm not real excited about having a house full of teenage girls yet, but it is nice to have one old enough, if I had to, leave home alone for just a bit.  Is that bad?  

Avery has been such a wonderful daughter since we brought her home to our little town house 9 years ago.  She is so smart and talented.  She can sing so good and has ever since she could talk.  She is so caring and loves playing with her sisters.  She loves spending time with me and Morgan.  She also loves anything girly.  Makeup, pretty clothes, dancing, jewelry, and having her hair done just right.  When I have to threaten her to do something, all I have to do is say Im not going to do her hair in the morning and it gets done.  
I love her so much and I'm so glad she chose me to be her mother.
