The pain finally hit though this weekend.
I HAD TO BUY JRMSS HER FIRST REAL BRA!!!
Seeing her in that just hit me that - wait - this isn't my LITTLE GIRL anymore. Where has the time gone? I mean REALLY..where as it gone?!
So although she's not feeling the growing pains now...mom sure is. I mean what's next? Do I really HAVE to do "The Talk" now? I remember when my mom gave it to me in THIRD grade - ugh - I was SO not ready to hear about all the gross women's bodies things and I was REALLY SO NOT READY to hear about my mom and dad having S-E-X - GROSS! So, maybe I'm a bad mom that I've avoided it. Kids grow up SO fast - do I really have to push it THAT much faster? Teaching her how to wear a real bra and how which colors have to go with which types of shirts - isn't that pretty mom-ish? I never got that lesson (seriously - my first wedding dress I wore white and green underwear and since I knew NOTHING about how colors show through clothes - everyone could see them - ugh). I didn't get that lesson until I went to Victoria Secret when I was like 25 to get a bra fitting whan THAT was finally explained to me.
She's also starting to get some random blemishes, so we picked up some Noxema as well in the store this weekend. I look back and I can't believe I was saying "when I was a teenager I used this..." or "this really helped when I had this blemish problem". HOW DID I GET SO OLD?!!
Of course I want to do the right thing and not let her find these things out the hard way or the wrong way. I realize that VERY soon I need to have "The Talk", I'm just not sure how to approach it I guess. I don't want to scar her like I was (sorry mom). We have a pretty open relationship and we can talk about things, but this crosses a line I'm not sure I want to share.
How were you given "The Talk" or how have you given it?
