My sister is headed to the airport. We had a great visit and it was nice to see all of them. We got into it because she wanted to buy my 12-year old daughter bootie shorts and a padded bra. I love my sister and I appreciate her spoiling my kiddos, but I don't need my daughter attracting the attention of men twice her age. She already looks 15 or more, my sister is trying to push that up. I can't take it. Do you other mothers allow your children to wear stuff like this? I know it's the current fad, but still. Do you think it matters if your child might be a little more developed than other girls her age. Do you think it matters if your child is more mature, or do you just say no?

I gave my kids their nicknames because I want the freedom to write without family and friends knowing who is talking about them, but it's funny how they seem to fit.
Lady Day is a play on her name, but she goes around the house singing all. the. dang. time.
Bubba is not so much fitting, but what Lady Day used to call him when he was first born. Her and her friend both called their brothers Bubba.
A.J. are his initials.
Bear is a play on his name as mispronounced by A.J., but it fits because he's getting big. He looks like a big ol' bear.
The Poet is named because she is named after a poet and an actress whose name can be shortened to another poets name.

My oldest sister is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer and my middle sister has been cancer free for about 2 years now. How could I not participate in the Sister Study? If you have a sister who's been diagnosed with breast cancer you should participate too.
