The Investigator -- 30 Days of Gratitude

When I decided to use pseudonames for the kids on my blog I didn't have to stop and think about hers much.

She's always investigating everything, from wanting to know all the details of a conversation to figuring out what's for dinner (food is for dinner, food I said!)

She's recently hit a new stage that I was afraid for a long time. The Middle Schoolers aka "Tweens"

She's gone from playing with friends to hanging out and there is a boy I hear about often. I'm handling this stage of childhood much better than I handled the toddler/preschool years.

She's entertaining to sit down and have a conversation with that doesn't involve cartoons or make believe. I still think it's all happening too fast, but since I can't stop it I'll take a breath (or several!) and enjoy it.
