8 year old Drama

Is it possible that my sweet natured 8 year old is becoming a pre-teen? UGH!!!!!!!!!!! I see the signs..she is picking what she wants to wear (which she has done since age 2) but now it is always very specific and "cool" (anything princess or cute is "out")... Mom is often wrong...she only wears her Uggs and refused to even wear snow boots because they are "ugly" (I put my foot down on that one)...and now she has taken to wearing odd things...15 hair bands as bracelets...a pair of glasses she made out of paper...I am perplexed. I thought I was cool and hip.. but I am quickly realizing that I am SO not hip anymore. This is just a taste of the future coming from my 8 year old.. the worst is yet to come...but I am starting to realize that there are going to be MANY battles that I just will not win. This is a huge revelation to a mom. Up until this point, Mom knew it all- Mom was superhuman- Mom was the best....where is this cruel world leading us now????? Luckily, Gi could care less what she wears and the littlest things still make her SO happy....I will take solace in that for now. And thank God for two beautiful healthy growing girls!!
