8th grader

 

You, my love, are gorgeous!  Today begins your 8th grade year and you left for it with a smile on your face (& your lunch forgotten in the fridge!).  You do well in school, but your favorite part is socializing at school.  

I was so proud when you came home and told me about welcoming two new girls to your lunch table, because they appeared out of their element and scared.  You are such a good and inclusive person who makes me terribly proud.

Welcome to your last year of middle school!  We're looking forward to seeing what you make of this year and hope you'll make yourself too! 

**You passed me up in height two inches ago and fortunately, those size 11 shoes don't look all that large connected to your endless legs.   

We love you so much gorgeous girl!
