Fifth Grade Dance

I have no idea when you began to look like a young lady and not like my baby anymore with your big smiles and those small perfect white teeth. You have become more and more independent. You have your own style of clothes that you like to wear and really don't care that I don't like it. You absolutely wanted this dress the moment you saw it, while I thought it looked more like a slip or pajamas. But you know what after you put it on, I thought you looked really amazing in the dress. Like.....well......"like a little lady".

You got a nice new haircut and your hair looked really nice. You were so patient with me taking pictures even though you really wanted to go into the dance. Especially since we could hear the music from the parking lot.

I don't know about your choice in nail polish though!
