Long time no update……You should interpret that as an indication of how busy this term has been!
Year 10 is proving challenging. Lauren is finding not just the content of year 10 study difficult, but the pace of learning more than difficult. Hence, I feel we are in many ways re-living the early days when I found myself sitting beside her explaining and re-explaining the work. Lauren is needing to do more homework than in the past and this is in itself putting demands on her (and me)…..so who knows where this will all lead to. Parent teacher interviews tomorrow so cross fingers all that things remain positive!
So what is happening in Lauren’s life? This update will focus on two exciting things. First of all, on 14th of Februrary Lauren received her very first Valentine’s Day Card from her friend Jesse. It was very sweet and all very innocent but Lauren got joy from the experience as you will see in the photo. It was a bit of a reality check for me as it enlighted me to the fact that my little girl is growing up.
The second thing also reminded me that Lauren is growing up. I took Lauren to the Kylie Minogue AntiTour Concert and had to dress her up. Check out the photo…..I am sure you will agree that with straightened hair she certainly is looking every bit a beautiful young lady.I was so moved by Lauren who danced all night to Kylie’s music and displayed her ability to have a good time and enjoy herself. Seeing her so carefree and happy brought tears to my eyes. Anyway, enjoy the photos and take care.
