Note from Alyssa
Hello Everyone!
I hope everyone had an enjoyable week and weekend. Yesterday, my baby girl, Lily was dedicated to the Lord in the Baby Dedication Service at our church. It is amazing that it feels just like yesterday that I was dedicating my baby boy, Baker, who is now 3 years old. Wow how time flies. I bet you ladies who have older children can tell me even more so how fast the time goes by as you watch your child complete milestone after milestone, grade after grade in school, and as each year passes and you watch them grow.
This school year is ending here where I live. The busy days of school are ending, and the carefree days of summer are beginning. How will you and your daughter spend these carefree summer days together? This week’s ezine will help you think of ways that you can spend time with your daughter this summer! Enjoy!

Blessings,

Do you celebrate the milestones in your daughter’s life? Last October I had the privilege of speaking at a girl’s thirteen-year-old birthday party. Since I knew her personally, I wrote a speech specifically for her. As I prepared I thought back over how it felt to turn thirteen and I reminisced over my memories of the time, both good and not so good. Some of the things that I remembered about myself at thirteen were:
· I was BOY CRAZY!
· I got my first hair cut the way I wanted, instead of the way my parents wanted.
· I tried out for cheerleader and I did not make it.
· I lost my first grandparent.
All of these things were an important part of my life. They all had an effect on who I am and who I have become as a person. They could all be considered a milestone. Whether good or not so good these milestones should be cherished because the have an impact on your daughter’s life. Hers will most likely be very different from mine, but they will be unique to her and special for that reason and many other reasons. This can apply to your daughter no matter what age she is now. We all experience milestones in almost every year of life. I’m sure right along with your daughter you are experiencing some yourself. Now, why not celebrate them?, Yes, I said celebrate, I think this is something we do not do enough of; we just take times for granted in our lives.
Celebrate that your daughter just completed another year of school, maybe she made all A’s maybe she did not, but I’m sure you can find something to celebrate. Go for it!
