A Quilt for her 13th Birthday
My oldest turned thirteen right earlier Christmas. I have been saving her onetime wearing apparel since 1st grade for this very twenty-four hours! I made her a quilt a long time ago from her babe-to-kindergarten clothes, simply that ane was a small little doll quilt. This ane was going to exist big plenty for her bed! She and I revisited these dress right earlier I started to cutting them up. She picked out the things that she remembered equally her favorites, and we had a good chuckle over her early sense of style (let's only say matching was not a priority). Information technology'southward amazing to see how her personality has developed through her outfits.
Built-in a collicky baby, she basically wore pajamas for a year. Manus-me-downs from my nephew put her in blueish stripes for the side by side year. Past the fourth dimension she was two, she began making her own choices. She spent the adjacent 5 years in dresses. Simply dresses. Having missed that lesson on coordinating, her outfits were very centre-catching. Right around 2nd grade, dresses were out and pants were in. Jeans and t-shirts became the new uniform. Nowadays, it's all labels. She and her friends are like Abercrombie clones. Though lately, at that place are days when she throws caution to the current of air and pulls out her glitter tights and golden boots. I love seeing glimpses of what her teenage fashion volition be. Peradventure we'll fifty-fifty share!
I love these photos that show her personality: Determined – Belting out Annie at age 4 / Protective – Hugging her infant sister / Playful – Discovering that her sister is at present a friend / Helpful – Feeding the new infant (in her fave middle sweater) / Responsible – Always ready for a photograph op (in her fave plaid skirt) / Funny – Goofing around with her little sis.
Existence the oldest is not always an easy role. But she carries herself with grace and poise and has an inner forcefulness that is enviable. She's a special daughter, what a privilege it has been to grow with her!
