big sister attended her first school dance tonight. and it was all her idea. a flyer came home from school, but i just set it aside. then a few days ago, she asked if she could buy her ticket at lunch. i said "sure, do you need money?"
"no, mom, i have $4 in my wallet."
well, okay then. she and a few girlfriends made plans to meet at the dance.
when it came time to get ready for the dance, she picked out her own outfit and accessories. she requested that we put hot rollers in her hair. when it was almost 7:00, i told her we needed to get going, since the dance started at 7:00. she said, "not yet, mom. we can get there a little late."
when we drove up to drop her off in front of the school, she got nervous and asked that i come in with her. i gave her a hug and told her "you'll be fine. go in and have fun. text me if you want to come home early."
she texted me about an hour later: "having a great time"
my heart swelled with happiness for her. middle school can be so tough, but it seems like she is managing it just fine.
