Happy Birthday, Baby...
Sooo...this is my girl, 11 YEARS AGO...this pensive, rather serious look of "What are you doing?" has continued quietly, threading its way through her personality. Not quick to trust anyone, Yaunna is a watcher -- she takes stuff in, chews on her sleeve and thinks about it for a moment, pushes her blue glasses back into place on her little nose (only to have them slip down again -- I should really get them adjusted for her), and then she reminds me how lucky I am to have her as a daughter. Lip gloss and eye shadow has started to replace Polly Pockets and the dollhouse accessory kits -- and while DOGS are pretty much the single obsession with this kid, it's weird to be moving on to a life where my ability to influence her decisions will wane and all I can do is hope to all hope that we've done a good job and that her pensive, serious, contemplative subtext will prove useful. Don't jump too fast. Look first. Less makeup, Yaunna. And HAPPY 11th BIRTHDAY, my favorite daughter... :)
