She'll be 11 in a month. I've decided to go ahead and let her shave. She's mortified by the dark hair that's coming in, and I don't want her to be the girl that all the other girls laugh at. (That was me... I know how hurtful it is.)
So... We went and bought her own razors and her own shave cream yesterday. We'll see how it goes.
*siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh*
She already has to wear a bra every day. I'm not ready for my baby to grow up.
