The signs are here: Little Miss is a Tween

Tweener Miss

Little Miss has grown so much this year. She has been slaying the dragons, beginning in a new school. It was an issue to make new friends, but she finally has a very special friend. It's strange how they all want that special BFF!

Besties! So great to have a real friend at school! It took a while to make a new friend at a new school. #BFF #LittleMiss #friends

We are seeing signs of her becoming more independent, and the Tween that is emerging. And Mom and Dad winces because the precious years of baby and toddler is long forgotten! (Too soon, I tell you *sic*)

Signs of the preadolescence, the Tween

Not scientific, but from a mom's perspective. 

Friends and play dates

Friends!

They were counting the "sleeps" until their play date on Saturday! They were both as excited as could be.

I had to remind Little Missy not to announce it to everybody at school, because her other friends would feel excluded, but I don't think it helped! That was all they were talking about!

The friend were allowed to do gymnastics with Little Missy, and after that we did a McD's on the way home.

They kept themselves busy the whole afternoon, and all we heard was the giggling from the bedroom.


It reminded me how important these play dates are, and that we should try and schedule more of them. Especially for single children who don't have the regular interaction with brothers and sisters!

Little Missy was invited to a Hot Wheels Party yesterday. They had so much fun driving the little cars.
