i was saying. She agreed that many things were not appropriate for her. I was happy to spend time with her. I was there for her birth and her Mother and I are very close.

Interesting though that as a young girl even SHE noticed that somethings were not appropriate. We ended up with almost a weeks worth of new clothing. I am so proud of her! She made good choices even though some of them I gently talked to her about what's appropriate. No arguments, after I explained she understood.

Thank You sea.. I appreciate your response.
