AE has one less wallet to seat

Homecoming Week is coming up, and all of a sudden, my 14 year-old daughter is keen to go to the dance. And by "go to the dance," I mean buy a short dress and some girl shoes, and have her long hair curled, the whole enchilada.

I'm not going to ask you where my baby went, because hey, I can count. What I AM going to ask you is, where is the 14 year-

I understand. My children are in their late 30's and early 40's, and I'm still asking myself where all that time went.

*hugs you*

Thanks, beffeysue. Don't tell anyone but I am actually in need of a hug here.

Schools still have semi-formal homecoming dances? Mine was casual, sixteen :O years ago (freshman year was the only year I bothered going).

*hugs* I hope you'll share some picspam if you're comfortable with doing so!

*Hugs* I'm not far behind. My son just started using deodorant. He's 10 and has underarm hair. And my 7 year old, when she dances to music, I can see her as a teenager already.

But know that we'll be freaked out together.

~tight hugs~ here I'm worried about potty training. Sigh. But I remember being worried when he wouldn't roll over. I imagine dates to the dances are next.

OMG you guys, she's home, and the dress. It's strapless! I don't even. Who is this person?

[sandlappershell]

Our first dress might as well have been strapless! It had rhinestone encrusted spaghetti straps!

This person is your lovely 14 year old daughter... all grown up. This calls for moar and stronger hugs.
