Summers equate to the beginnings of a string of birthdays for our family. Greg starts us off in June, then Kaylee in July, then Megan in August, thenTyler in September, myself in November and Trent closing the year out in December. Once the birthdays start I feel as if the year begins to pick up speed and heads into constant stream of celebrations- birthdays and big holidays. If last year was a river, this year is a flood!
Kaylee is officially 10 and has informed me that she is a pre-teen now and no longer a child. She will no longer sit at the kid table, or think that little kid jokes are funny, and she reassures me that she has definitely changed. I didn't connect this coming of age with the 10th birthday though intuitively I knew it wasn't far off. Kaylee has been precocious since birth.
We began her birthday by celebrating with donuts at breakfast, presents, and a family party in the evening. She was showered with gracious gifts of clothing and loved them all. Had she been a child, she reported, clothes would have been disappointing, but because she is a pre-teen they were the best thing she could ask for. Grammy and Ron picked her up on Monday for a date of dinner and more shopping. What more could a girl ask for? Later that week she celebrated Harry Potter style with some school friends and her siblings. Welcome to 10 Kaylee girl!
