I can imagine...and probably all to soon for you, she'll be off to high school and then college. We at least it sounds like she has a good role model at home. Kids amaze me at times at how intellgent they can be at a young age. I never thought I was ever very smart at age 12. My neighbors 12 and 14 year old can both sit and talk politics and current events with us, and they floor me on their grasp on what is occuring.
I don't want to lose her.
She's already taller than I am! ( I'm 4'11"). She's strong and tall and Itake her grocery shopping to grab the tings of fof the tall shelves for me.
She's been SO good and helpful all summer! Hauling and packing because we were doing it on the cheap...
And she Is smart. We talk about history, and morals and politics all of the time. And she talks about it at school. Has a funny, dead-pan sense of humor, too.
Confuses her teachers.
