So, I guess it's to the store we go this weekend for her to pick out her first deodorant... Next thing I know, it'll be training bras and pads. I would be surprised she's not already in a bra since by her age I was in one, but I dunno how they "grow" on her father's side.
Anna's best friend just got her first period (in fourth grade!) and now she's in a big hurry to grow up too. If she's like me, though, she'll probably not go through puberty til she's 12, and not need a bra until then.... actually, if she's like me, she'll never actually need one... lol
I'm surprised that fourth graders where you are dress out for gym already. They don't start doing that in our district til middle school, which is 7th and 8th grade.
