And the older one! The tween, she of the ever-changing moods and hormones, she was incredible last night, and all of the week that led up to last night. See, last week we got a progress report from school. Seems little miss was a tad preoccupied and her grades in on subject slipped to a D. A D! First time ever and boy did we all about die from shock. After hours of conversations and tears and a suspension from the Twilight books (I’ll perish! She wailed, as she about jumped off the cliff, hair aflame) and finally resolutions to improve, can I just say, that D is now a B!! Soon to be an A!! How cool is my girl. Last night she came home with her progress report- and I was so proud of her. We sat on the couch, and talked about her dreams, about her wanting to be a vet, about possibly getting a cat soon….we just talked. She is taller than I by about 4 inches, yet she curled up next to me and we snuggled and laughed….my heart almost hurts with how completely priceless these moments are.
There are times when I don’t want any of this to change. When I want the girls to stay just as they are, and this moment, as perfect as I could ever want it to be, to remain timeless.
