My little Katie-bug is 12 today! I really can't believe how time has flown by! It seems like just a little bit ago we were watching this funny girl toddle around the house.
Kate has always been my most active kid. She loves to be outside. She loves sports, and bikes, and skateboards. You will catch her in tennis shoes, comfy pants, and t-shirts most days. She hates it when I make her dress up and curl her hair. Although, there are rare occasions she asks for it.
Her attitude is usually a happy mood, but if you do make her mad, WATCH OUT! She isn't afraid to tell you how she feels and if she really thinks what you are requesting is unreasonable, or stupid, she's not afraid to let you know. I admit we butt heads when we don't agree, but if I hold my ground, she will eventually back down and do what she is asked. I have learned to pick my battles with her and what I can compromise on.
Turning 12 means becoming part of Young Women's. Kate is a Beehive! Her leaders heart-attacked the front door to welcome her. In one month she will be headed off to girl's camp for a week. I'm excited for her!
