It makes me feel just a bit better, knowing that others out there feel the same way about the impending doom of adolescense in their children. ;)<BR/><BR/>Turtleheart: HEY!!! Ya know, I don't think I've ever had a blood-draw or IV that took less than 3 tries to get the vein. My veins look VERY prominent, but they roll horribly. Also glad to hear that I'm not the only one who has a tendency toward lightheaded-ness over this. We "wusses" gotta stick together! ;)Katihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18312698112377656801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10061220.post-39846388538103968512007-02-22T22:05:00.000-08:002007-02-22T22:05:00.000-08:00Its so great that you're so open with your daughte...Its so great that you're so open with your daughter about all these approaching life changes! Hopefully it will make them less traumatic for her, if she knows she can talk openly with you.<BR/><BR/>I hear you about the needles. I get queasy, too. Can't look. And I'm *very* hard to get a draw on. The more they have to stick, the fainter I get. :(Turtlehearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17943151416742196757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10061220.post-66501248408040055552007-02-20T17:28:00.000-08:002007-02-20T17:28:00.000-08:00oh my...kudos to you for all that you are about to...oh my...kudos to you for all that you are about to experience. my two boys are approaching adolescence and i am downright scared!Max and Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11924070362327711321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10061220.post-78709815626268458802007-02-19T17:32:00.000-08:002007-02-19T17:32:00.000-08:00Thanks folks!!!!

I'm sure I'll need them, if the mood-swings DD currently has are any indication of what's to come. *wry laugh* Worst comes to worst, I suppose I can always remind myself that I've only got 8-1/2 years yet to go, right????? ;)<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for the positive reinforcement!Katihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18312698112377656801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10061220.post-39646776072401834382007-02-18T21:48:00.000-08:002007-02-18T21:48:00.000-08:00Good for you for facing the challenge head on!

Lots of patience and hugs...pick your fights...Mine is turning 17 in March. I have fought most of the fights...Bardouble29https://www.blogger.com/profile/02792662853238196699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10061220.post-11536060810129601272007-02-18T14:16:00.000-08:002007-02-18T14:16:00.000-08:00Good Luck, you are going to need it!

Just think that sweet baby girl with her mood swings, emerging maturity, skin eruptions, racing towards puberty will get much much worse before it gets better. Hang on Kati you are in for a ride!Sliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941551680319211810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10061220.post-16132284947879689722007-02-18T13:31:00.000-08:002007-02-18T13:31:00.000-08:00I suppose congratulations are in order.

But it is also sad to see them grow so quickly sometimes...and a bit scary to see them growing away from us. All of these changes - bras, periods, mood swings, etc - such obvious signs of growing older. But there are so many other, subtle changes, that we notice in our kids that no one else notices. It is an exciting/sad/trying time. :)Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14063254538593495040noreply@blogger.com
