...being seven

having a seven year old is a lot like having an unmedicated schizophrenic living with you {or so i imagine, i dont actually have an unmedicated schizophrenic living with me...}

over the past few months, i've noticed a lot of different moods, attitude and well, general defiance going on with this little lady of mine. i've really been thinking about it and trying to figure it all out, and the conclusion i have come to is that it must just be hard to be seven.

she's not a little girl anymore {well, in my eyes she is, but she doesnt see it that way} and she's at a very impressionable age where she sees lots of stuff from older girls.

and she wants to do the things that she sees the older girls doing, wear the things she sees the older girls wearing, and act the way she sees the older girls are acting.

and i may be old fashioned, but thats just not flying with me. because, after all, she's only seven.

and even though learning and observing things, and trying and testing me {and her dad} is completely normal for her age, i suppose the bottom line is that i'm the one having a hard time with seven...

...because it went way too fast.
