I guess my daughter did too but for some reason I remember doing it at my grandmother's as apposed to remembering my daughter at that stage. <br /><br />That's good that your granddaughter is enjoying being the age she is without pushing to grow up too fast. Those young faces don't need makeup but I remember being eager to wear it. The big challenge I had with my daughter was delaying her getting her ear's pierced. All of her friends had theirs' pierced and I finally modified my "not til your 18" to letting her do it around 15.

Thanks for reminding me again. <br /><br />It's nice to see a girl enjoying her real age. My grand daughter turned 12 yesterday. She still likes her dolls and is a tomboy. I know it won't be long before she gets caught up in the business of being a young lady.Finding Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07671978828279304904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412565310065277929.post-58191049879255928812013-08-01T09:52:48.798-04:002013-08-01T09:52:48.798-04:00Oh they grow up so fast, our eldest grandson is 14...Oh they grow up so fast, our eldest grandson is 14 today.<br /><br />Sounds like your granddaughter had a great birthday! :)Akelamaluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11234268568845148285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412565310065277929.post-78152472700919329172013-08-01T09:27:37.324-04:002013-08-01T09:27:37.324-04:00Hard to watch them grow up, isn't it?

But, thankfully, as you said she is her age not going on 20 or 30.<br /><br />It's so strange that just a few minutes ago, I was sitting outside and remembering the first time my dad saw me with makeup (and I was a junior in HS) he made me wash my face! :)<br /><br /> So glad Arianna had a wonderful birthday and you & Mack there to share it with her.<br /><br />xoxoSallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02865722713732049339noreply@blogger.com
