Tween

It seems like it happened overnight.  One day she was my little girl but now Alyssa is a full on tween, complete with sass and opinions.  She gets up every morning on her own, does her hair all by herself.  She does her own laundry sometimes, cooks dinner on occasion.  She is obsessed with her first phone and the freedom she has to communicate with her friends, she attends young womens.  I think she is on her way to becoming a responsible, contributing member of society.
