It’s just not possible. I can’t be that old. Nope. But sure enough, last night the Young Women had their New Beginnings Night, and Natalie was invited. Because she will turn 12 this year and enter the Young Women’s program. Nope. I can’t be that old.
But in a way, I’m excited. I’m hoping that YW will give my two oldest girls something more in common, some reason to bond. Because right now they don’t get along. There is a lot of tension and fighting and rude behavior between the two girls and I can’t really do anything to stop it. I remember in my own growing up years that my brother and I used to fight and tease each other. Well, if we’re being honest, it was mostly me doing the teasing. But then, once we were both in high school, we had something in common. Our own private “club” or something. And we got to be friends. I have hope that something like that will happen with my girls. Hey, a mom can hope, can’t she?
I’m also excited about the new personal progress program. Did you know that Moms can get their own personal progress awards along with their daughters? It think that’s cool. If I’m working on my value goals along with my girls, maybe we can keep track a little better.
What do you think of the new personal progress program?
I’ve been out of YW for what? 5 months, and I was completely unaware that there is a new PP program. Thanks for the info, I’ll look into it today!
And don’t give up on your girls yet. It does take a little while, but I’ve found that the older my kids get, the more they have in common. And that’s how I was with my sibs as well.
I think the revisions in the program are great! I’m just grateful that i earned my medallion while I was serving in YW. I’m trying to get Brooke to finish before she starts her junior year or she might not make it.
And I can’t believe you’ll have 2 girls in there. I am going to do baptisms tonight with my 3 teenagers!!
