I’m proud of you for accepting that paradigm shift and taking part in the joy that is your daughter. Our girls lead different lives from their peers but the older I get the more I realize we ALL lead different lives. I’m glad she had the birthday she’d been hoping for!

She has earned it. More than anyone else on their 16th birthday, she has earned it (with an A in geometry!!!!!!!!!!!) Here’s to a million tomorrows with our Soph– I can’t wait until 18!!

I’m different, too and I give myself lot of permission to let myself be who I want to be. My guide is to think about what the consequences are for others and for me of that choice.

Max has no self-consciousness whatsoever. It used to make me hyper-aware of how others perceive him but lately, I end up feeling the same as you. If it makes him happy, so be it. Happy Birthday and Happy Whole Year to Sophie!

At least with the good old fashioned birthday party there is not the requirement you find a male suitor and have a dance. And tell her the through the years slide show is reserved for graduation.
