Don't worry girls...  I did not publish this one.  But, I had to put it down for us to enjoy later.

Elizabeth - you are in the middle of little girl and young adult.  I guess they call this tween years.  The night before last I went in to check you while you were sleeping.  There was a new smell in your room.  You had gymnastics and we came home late with no time to shower before bed.  You did shower the next morning but there was body odor.  That was a first.  So, when we went shopping for the Wolf Ridge retreat, you asked for deoderant.  You also have been asking about shaving your legs as well as looking for underarm hair.  So, your body is changing.  Your emotions are too and you are doing an amazing job handling it all. 

Anyway, last night we had a lesson in using deoderant.  I showed you with the lid on and you practiced.  Then you tried it with the real stuff and you said it felt good.  Ella was in the shower when we were doing that.

When you got out Ella you wanted to try too.  So, Elizabeth showed you as I showed her.  You thought it tickled - alot.  :-)

I love how you two are changing and growing and am so blessed to be your mom.
