In a couple of weeks my middle Monster will be turning 16. I know that this is a huge milestone I a teenage girls life. I sent a picture to her the other day of my husband teaching her to ride a bike. She then sent a text back saying “mom now he is going to teach me to drive” with that text all these emotions came to me! These huge milestones come and hit you like a train if your ready or not!!!!!! When you become a mom and are up doing the 2am feeds you dream of the days when they can drive and take care of themselves. It is crazy to think when you are up waiting to make sure they make it home by curfew you are wishing you are still doing 2am feeds. Being a mom is a crazy roller coaster of hoping, wishing, dreaming, being worried, being scared, and not ever wanting them to hit huge milestones for selfish reasons. I am sad that she is turning 16 but I am so very proud of the amazing, caring, silly, determined, loving, different, courageous, crazy, carefree, out spoken, loud, proud, feisty, corky, and fun young women she is turning into. My hope and wish for you my middle Monster is that you never ever change anything about you because what makes you you are all amazing qualities. These are the things that will take you far in life never let anyone tell you to change because you are amazing.
