The Last to be a Teenager

Today, my youngest turns 13. That means I have only teenagers in the house! 

Before we get to the pictures, let me tell you a little bit about Liv. 

  1. Liv now uses "they-them" pronouns. This has made me a lot more aware of the way I use my pronouns and the importance of normalizing people stating their preferred pronouns. 
  2. Liv still loves doing "fuse beads" to make AMAZING creations! (that I have no pictures of 😟)
  3. Liv's favorites still include Anime (Japanese animated tv shows/movies) and Manga (Japanese comic style books)
  4. Liv has been working hard at her art and is getting much better with her drawing and painting. 
  5. Liv can talk your ear off, given half a chance 
  6. Liv got her first BROTHER this year and didn't hold him at all for the first two months. 

Let me recap you on the past year. Warning: picture overload!

Livvie-Love,

I am so glad that God picked me to be your mommy. I cannot imagine the last 13+ years of my life without you. 

You are constantly making me laugh! Whether that be with a funny story from school, or a "stupid dad joke" that you had to share with me. Never stop telling jokes or funny stories, no matter what anyone tells you. 

While your kind heart might hurt often, don't let it get hardened by this world. You are so trusting and so wonderful to your friends. 

You are growing so fast, and before I know it, you will be an adult making all your own choices. Thank you for being such an easy going kid. You for sure have your moments, but most of the time you just roll with it. That will help you so much in your life. 

I love you so much! Keep being your best you, 
Love, Mom
