And Baby Grows Up

On the 24th we celebrated our Tree Monkey's birthday. She turned 14 years old.
She is part kid and mostly young lady.
She loves to play with Barbies, dolls houses, and Polly Pockets.
She can answer the phone and speak like a professional secretary.
She can pout and whine when she doesn't get her way and when she gets in trouble for trying to do things that 14 year old girls don't get to choose in my home (like running down the road for cookies at 9:13 PM with out asking).
She works hard at school and is making some amazing grades.
She is dependable. I can always count on her help when I'm in a pinch.
She tries to not do her chores some days and frowns at doing dishes or cleaning litter boxes.
She loves her niece, the animals, and her family.
She is a great friend.
She is a beautiful dancer.
She makes packing a baby on her hip and cleaning up or preparing a bottle or a jar of baby food look easy, peasy.

She is my baby.

Tree Monkey you make your momma proud! Stay beautiful.
