"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!

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

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!
