Houston, we. have. a. teenager.
What?
HOW?!
Our candy Hailey Bug is 13 years outdated and I don’t even know the way that’s actual. However we’re right here, we’re excited, and we will affirm that 13 isn’t scary. Actually, it’s superb.
A buddy informed me that the teenager years along with her children are a few of her favourite as a result of that’s when you’ll be able to really feel issues start to shift from a strictly father or mother/baby relationship to a deeper degree connection and friendship. I beloved that and may see our wheels delivering that course. Don’t get me mistaken, I’ll at all times be father or mother first for these years as a result of even huge children nonetheless want boundaries and course, however there’s a deeper connection forming as we watch her uncover and change into who she is a bit more annually.

Hailey is artful and creative. She’s extremely considerate and intuitive by nature. She’s hooked on the piano and may’t stroll by it with out stopping to play a tune. She is aggressive in sports activities and board video games. She is aware of how one can push her sister’s buttons. She likes to have a plan and construction. She likes to exercise and run with David and me. She enjoys hikes, being exterior, and adventures. She isn’t a giant fan of cities or locations with too many individuals. She’s a caretaker. She loves group and is thrilled that I’ve have allowed her to be the official group czar of the brand new home.
This has been a giant yr for her. She’s going by means of a giant transition, from the home she’s recognized her complete life, to nomad, to new dwelling (hopefully this month). She’s dealt with all of it with a whole lot of grace; I’m so pleased with her. I actually really feel like this coming yr she is going to thrive. She has a quiet confidence in who she is, one thing I deeply admire about her.
