Well, it's official, my baby is no longer a baby
She got her period today. She was really excited until the topic of swimming came up. I've told her her period won't stop her doing anything she wants but for now, until she's old enough for tampons, she may have to miss one or two lessons if she has it. She then asked when she could use them and honestly I didn't know, I just feel she's a bit young yet.
I didn't get mine til I was 14 and just assumed she would been in her teens too, though the crazy mood swings and other developmental signs should have been a clue.
What do you think? Too young or could she use the minis maybe?
