Okay...just when I'm getting used to my son's deep voice, his calling me shorty because he decided to grow taller than me, and seeing hair on his upper lip, my daughter decides it is her time for a "rite of passage"!! Kaleigh is going into 5th grade this year. She has been concerned about hair on her legs (do you see where this is going?). Of course, at the pediatrician's office, this came up. He suggested that we use Nair instead of shaving (he couldn't just say "you're too young"?). He said a lot of girls wait until they are older but at her age if she is too self conscious, go ahead. She has brought it up several times in the past month (since the doctor okayed it). I guess I didn't realize how much it bothered her. Soooo, we now have a tube of Nair and she has no more hair on her legs!! She was amazed to see all the hair come off (so was I...I think I will try Nair). Okay... I know this sounds like a petty thing to be emotional over but for me it is the "beginning of the end" of my "little" girl. She will always be my baby, but now, she is my maturing baby.
I took a picture of her arm because I forgot to take a "before" photo of her leg with all the hair. Picture her leg with all this hair plus a little more and a LOT longer.
Now, the "after". She has smooth legs. Her first comment was "They don't itch any more." I guess that makes it worth it.
