It's official...and am I ever happy!

I have watched my leggy daughters' escapades in Elementary School with joy and trepidation. I have such moments of clarity of my school days, the good and the really bad, and I want her to only have the happy parts. Yes, she loves boys but won't admit it. Yes, she now calls her friends and they coordinate their outfits. Yes, her teeth are coming in funky but they just may pull out of it and settle in straight. This last one is a major concern for me as I went through braces 3 times......I'm sure that qualifies as a post all in it's own right. But these things are not the things I am happiest about.

When my girl gets to school in the morning she is ambushed by a pack of 3 other adorable girls who all love to be together. The cute part is my girl is the shortest one of the bunch! Considering her parentage (both parents over 6 feet), I know this phenomenon won't last. But for now she can enjoy perhaps one year of school with others who are taller. I don't think I ever had friends taller than myself....ever! If my daughter can see how rare of a treat this year is, I know she will appreciate it. I know it won't last. But am I ever happy she gets to try on "shorter" for once.
