Teenage kicks!

My little girl is growing up. Lucy is going pop star mad at the moment. She loves 'Jessie J ' and 'One direction' and I can see her entering a new phase in her life as more things girlie kick in. There is real excitement and sparkle in her eyes when she talks about things such as this with genuine passion. She can be so understated and quietly enjoys the things that are important to her without much fuss as if embarrassed to share what she likes, but in this case she is quickly developing as a groupie! She loved Comic Relief when Jessie J shaved all of her hair off late last week and this has sparked loads of questions about Africa and charity. The things of real importance to her she does not often share with others, such as quiet time drawing and writing, playing in her bed with her small collections, and pretending to be a teacher like her mummy when she thinks nobody is listening. In this case she seems to want to sing this (pardon the pun) from the rooftops, it is sweet and lovely to see. Despite all the gob and the noise, she really is quite shy is my eldest daughter....
