We officially have a teenager in da house! Cienna Elise has turned 13 and I can hardly believe it is true. Mostly because I do not feel like I could be old enough to have given birth to someone who is now in their teen years. But also because the time has flown by. So to celebrate this milestone I will tell you all about you (right now) and follow it up wiht some of my best advice.
At 13 you like:
Your iPhone
Your Friends
Sleeping In
Volleyball
Track & Field (High Jump & Sprints)
90's Clothing Style (Brandy Melville)
Lululemon
Short Hair
Snap Chat
TikTok Dances
Sweets
Chick-fil-A
Boba Tea
Starbucks
Watching Old Episodes of "Friends" and "Gilmore Girls"
Watching Disney Movies
We tried to incorporate all of your favorite things into a party to celebrate you...dinner at Chick-fil-A, shopping at the mall / Uptown, and dessert at The Melting Pot. Your friends McKenzie, Minka, Hallie, and Kaleigh came and after we all got back you guys took scissors to your clothes to crop them and made TikTok videos until everyone went home. It was perfectly you!
Advice for my 13 year old:
Always Try Your Best
Treat Your Friends How You Want To Be Treated
Have Boundaries And Don't Compromise Them
Wash Your Face Every Night
Keep Trying New Things (like Volleyball!)
Don't Do Drama
Remember That Boys Will Say Anything To Get What They Want...So Use Your Mind And Not Your Heart!
Tattoos Are Trendy And You Can't Improve On Perfection
Don't Cheat Your Workout
Keep Reading (And Writing!)
Don't Flex On People, Don't Dab On Dem Haters, And Don't Talk Behind People's Backs
Don't Wear Anything Too Tight, Too Short or Too Trendy
Brush Your Teeth Twice A Day So You Don't Have To Get Wooden Teeth!
Nothing But Death Is Permanent So Don't Sweat The Small Stuff...It Will Pass!
I'm Here For You No Matter What, No Matter When, Forever And Always
Love,
Me
