Went to the pediatrician with Sarah. She hasn't been in 2 years - after age 9 they only have to go every 2 years for well kid checkups now.
The doc politely informed us that Sarah COULD GET HER PERIOD AT ANY MINUTE - holy hell - based on how she's developing.
She officially needs a bra and apparently a handout on physical and emotional changes.
We went bra shopping. We ended up purchasing 2 Puberty Denial bras (white sports bras with no semblance of support) after much finger-pointing and crying (on both sides).
She won't use deodorant. She won't read the handout.
It's possible she's looking forward to this change even less than I am.
Meanwhile there was a 6th grade dance and I found out AFTER the fact! When I asked Sarah about it she said - they're usually just for the popular girls and middle school kids crash it and Things Go On that she doesn't like. (not sure what Things this could be with the number of chaperons, but still...)
I'm raising... The Church Lady? Not that I mind. She's a very sweet person. With 2 bras she won't wear. Sigh.

You need to give her that book that Mom gave me - I think it was called something like "Um, What the Hell Is Happening to Me, and I HATE YOU!" and staple the boy pages together just like Mom did.
crap...I am not lookin forward to this. Perhaps 3 boys would have been nice, on second thought no not really.
shhhh she's READING THE PUBERTY HANDOUT right now... goodie goodie.
