Miss Princess

This weekend was all about my Princess.

Just to be fair, even though it was Father's Day weekend, and even though my husband is the most fantastic dad out there, he is gone to Scotland for the week, so there you go, no Father's day celebration for him...

I am incredibly proud of the small adult my Princess is becoming. She is so clever and wise and independant for a nine years-old. For her birthday, she had a slumber-party with four friends from her class. She was the perfect little hostess, taking care of everything, even making some sandwiches to her picky-eaters friends who do not eat mac and cheese (yes, it is possible apparently to say no to dinner served during a party, I am very happy my daughter would not do that, and let me clarify that it wasn't for allergies). She took care of the activities, put everyone to bed and organized breakfast this morning. She was just a-ma-zing!

I heard a conversation she was having with one of her friend and it was so cute. She was explaining to her why ears pop when you take the plane and why you should let the babies cry. Her friend replied: "wow, you just know so much stuff!" At that moment, I have to say, I was a very proud mother...

And how she managed to let her friends choose cupcakes before herself (even though it was her birthday!), how she managed who would choose first during activities to be sure there is no conflict, I was impressed.

We were having a discussion in the parking this afternoon. She said that adults are just like kids but smarter... I said: "Well, really, I think you even are smarter than some adults...(because, let's face it, some adults are not the brightest, but I didn't tell her that :-) )  It is not a question of intelligence but more a question of experience."

I really believe she is going to be a very adequate adult in some time... I am privileged to have such an amazing daughter!
