OMG! I think it's official - Abby is cooler than I was when I was in 8th grade. Not only does she already have a boyfriend (Jayden...the same one from earlier this year) but he also came over, with flowers and gifts, to ask her to the Jr. High dance. It really was the sweetest thing. His mom texted me that he wanted to ask her and that he had something special planned and my heart exploded for her. Its very sweet.
I knew this was in the works so the weekend before Mom and I took Abby out to try and find a cute outfit for her. A few weeks earlier I asked her "Hey, would you want to go shopping at Kohl's to see if we can find you a cute outfit for the dance?" She said YES, of course!
But - the best part of the story was that two or three days later she asked me "hey Mom, you asked if I wanted to go to Kohls, what's that?!?". 😂 I couldn't resist. "It's a VERY FANCY designer store that has high fashion outfits...it's going to be perfect".
Kohls was a giant disappointment, especially after my tee up. But, Target and Grandma came through in the end. This adorable little outfit fit her SO PERFECTLY and it was perfect for the theme (Black and White).
Its really true - Abby is cooler than me. That happened. It took 13 years and honestly, I'm proud of it. It's called winning as a Mom - making a kid that's cooler than you is the whole goal. And I love her so so much for it.
OMG! That is all there is to say, OMG! We have 5 years left til college and I think that reality is finally starting to feel real.
