I knew that one day it would happen and today it did! My 12 year-old got up, on her own, took a shower, washed her hair and blew it dry – all in time to make the bus. I am supper stoked. Of course this will still be the predominate scowl look on her face. In turn I expect to see more of these types of expressions on the faces of her sisters (and I).
But today mommy’s face looks like this, because I believe that at least the, “you need to wash your hair today” argument will be one we won’t be having on a regular basis anymore.
Score one for puberty.
