TRUTH

You hear this over and over again from parenting experts. And apparently from some very self aware kids.

Q9 said to me yesterday, "I like when you tell me what I can and can't do; I like to know I can't do everything."

That girl is very much in touch with what she needs to succeed. With the exception of the amount of sleep she needs. She sets limits on her alone time, her time spent with friends, her time doing organized activities, because she knows what is too much. If I exceed those limits ... she lets me know.

XO to Q. And for the rest of you, here is a photo of her making lemon mousse on Monday or Tuesdsay. Turned out delicious.
