Dd has just turned 9 and always has amazed me by her maturity (she puts me to shame sometimes when I get in a strop!). She doesn't make big deals out of things, is very easy going but not a walkover.
Anyway as I said she's just had her 9th birthday. She came home from Brownies with a special birthday badge, for an 8 year old!! She thought it was funny and said it would've been rude to say actually I'm 9!
Don't really know why I'm posting. I guess I just feel rather proud of her.
Thanks for reading!
