How did they get so big??? My step son started High School today too!!! My poor husband is beside himself. He feels like he missed the whole deal, like Erik just went from 5 to 15 overnight! it really seems that way!!!

And Nikki... YES! I did not look anything like my 10 year old till I was like 17!!! Seriously! What the Heck! And her first Dance is Coming up on Sept 29th... So let me know how yours goes.... So I'll know how to prepare for mine!! lol So are you going??? My best friends parents were at every dance... they were very active with the school.... I have not decided if I am going to be that mom yet or not....

Should I?? Will she want me to be??? Or will that be "Lame"? Any parents have any thoughts on that?? I'm 31, so I'm not an OLD mom by any means... Not that thats bad... just saying that I'm pretty with it... But still, does she want MOM hanging around the school, even if its for the good of the whatever it is parents do over there???

Turns out poor Lauren isn't going to the dance. Most of the mom's out of her main group of 5 girlfriends decided it wasn't a good idea. The teachers made it pretty clear at open house that it was really for the 7th and 8th graders and that the 8th grade boys WILL approach and flirt with the 6th grade girls. Some of these boys already look like men for crying out loud! I'm relieved because I don't really think they need to be socializing with 8th graders. She was a little bummed but she's going to have a sleepover instead and she'll have something to look forward to next year.
And cool- you're a young mom too! I'm 33 and all of Lauren's friends have always been at least 5 years older than me.
