Today is my daughter's birthday. She is ten-years-old.
I won't say that I can't believe she is hitting double digits, because it just wouldn't be true. Actually, I feel like it has taken forever for her to be this old. She's finally ten. Finally.
Unlike most parents, I am perfectly happy to trade my little girl for a big one. She may be hitting the angst of puberty, but she is finally finding some independence. She is finally finding herself and her self confidence. It is so very good.
I've had to push this one screaming from the nest. But they've got to fly sometime. And in two years she'll be able to babysit.
She's a great kid. She's as sweet and empathetic as a child could possibly be, and creative, imaginative, and talented to boot.
Happy birthday, sweet girl! I know this next year is going to be a great one.
Man, I've been a parent for ten years. That's the longest I've ever done anything.
