"I am both relieved she has a clear vision for what she wants and annoyed that the vision is so laborious."- sums up so much of it, really lovely turn of phrase
Just finished the Hemingses of Monticello which is quite old, but still so very good
I am also in the "she has already outgrown the shoes we bought two months ago" phase with my 11-year-old daughter...I do not remember my feet growing this fast in 5th grade!! It's insane!
My fifth grader has her first dance next year and I’m already plotting dress options because I anticipate it being a big deal. She wears uniforms to school and stresses out / over analyzes opportunities when she gets to pick an actual outfit. Good luck to us all!

Crazy. Her shoes are only 1 (full) size smaller than mine at this point, so I feel I’ll be surpassed within 6 months.
