You don't say...

Well pat me on the back and call me Shirley- my girl has been honored for her honesty.

Oh what did she say now?...
 
The assembly was adorable and Brenda loved the attention.  ...Up until the noisy applause was just too exasperating and she marched out with her hands over her ears -as if to say Really people, get a hold of yourselves!.

She takes these exciting things very seriously.

 I'm always in awe of my kids when I see them in their school setting surrounded by peers.  Brenda behaves so independent and suave.  I think she's proud of school and how she gets to do so many big girl things without me looking on...  (I remember trying to be so adult and cool when my parents would visit school.  Like they were visitors in my little world and I got to "show them the ropes".) 

After a minute she was done with the paparazzi and ready to get back to her schedule-

But quickly she wanted a picture with Sandy, her assistant.

Brenda casually waved goodbye and the hormonal momma in me wanted to just eat her up between heaving sobs.

My honest girl is growing up.
