I'm too young for this...

This last Friday the 5th graders had their Maturation program....when did this happen? When did I have a daughter old enough to be in 5th grade going through the "growing up and liking it" class (that's what it was called in my elementary school).
I've talked to her here and there about different things she heard. Such as hormones making us moody. Yesterday she and her team lost their basketball game and she was so upset and was crying.  I told her it was fine and that their team still did great. She said "Your right Mom, I'm just being moody." She is recognizing she can change her attitude, I hope it lasts through the teen years. :)
Now to work on my moodiness ha ha.

I have to write this down so I won't forget  it. Angela shared with me a story about Andrew. Her daughter is in the same class. She said they were talking about being strong and Andrew said that girls can't be strong their girls! I guess all the girls glared at him and Mr Smith told Andrew he should rethink what he said. I can just picture that which makes me laugh :)

Ha ha ha! Sucka!
I have five boys and will never have to go to the maturation film. So happy! :)
...but I did have to answer the question on "where did babies really come from..." and that was awkward.

Hey Nat:
I went to the maturation program with my oldest son on Friday. It was my first time hearing the boys' program. A bit awkward? Yeah. But I plan to go to my younger two boys' programs as well, just so they'll know that it's okay to ask me questions. Don't miss out on the chance to keep that line of communication open.
