The follow up to this is that now she really Needs to wear a bra, and is resisting mightily. <br /><br />That my voice IS dimming as I talk to her about the other girls in 6th grade, about how she doesn't want to go to the dance and I Can'T Change her MIND!!!<br /><br />As I try to explain that I don't want to change her mind, I only what to know what she feels - and she comes out with Embarrassed. Self Conscious.<br /><br />She doesn't want to dance in front of anyone, anymore. My little naked baby that I couldn't stop from ripping off her clothes and running around to music is now too self conscious to dance.<br /><br />It makes me want to cry and protect her. <br /><br />Instead, we took a long walk around the neighborhood and just talked.<br /><br />I don't need to change you mind, I said. Just know how you feel.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12920042208198309201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15513876.post-91210263996578645492011-06-05T22:51:06.244-05:002011-06-05T22:51:06.244-05:00you are a brilliant Mother Dawn.
