Many Thanks to @dogtrax for the the suggestion. I took the only the bold words from Day 7 and made a poem (maybe?).

Sitting quietly at the table wearing cheetah capri pj pants and a die-tie shirt she thumb through her iPod playlist looking for something to break the silence. She scanned the list pressed play for the perfect start to her day. The song "Downton" by Lady Antebellum begins to play. She plugs in her sassy hot pink Skull Candy headphones and sways to the music. Holding the iPod in her left hand the earphone cord passes in front of her body. She reaches for the refrigerator door and leans forward to survey the breakfast choices. Pulling out a Gala apple she closed the fridge and opened the freezer to pull-out two Eggo Waffles. Stepping to the toaster she placed both waffles in the toaster oven setting it to make the waffles toasty warm. Heading to the pantry she pulled out the Nutella for the waffles. She walked to the utensil drawer and took out a sharp knife and began slicing the bright red apple into wedges. "Ding" The waffles are ready, she slathered them with a tiny bit of Nutella and swept into her seat just as "Downtown" rolled into "Long Teenage Goodbye". She smiles reaches for the O.J. Sweeps her hand over the puppy's forehead and lets out a sigh as she eats breakfast listening to her tunes.
When did she become so self-sufficient.

"She smiles reaches for the O.J. Sweeps her hand over the puppy's forehead and lets out a sigh as she eats breakfast listening to her tunes." I enjoyed this image, it was so clear, and I feel now a sense of foreboding at the development of my own daughter who just realized she no longer needs the stool to reach the sink.
ReplyDeleteI like the image of the sassy headphones and the swaying to the music. Different ages, different stages--enjoy her!
ReplyDeleteWow ~ at what age does this take place, I don't know, but it happens without us parents realizing that our kids have become so independent of us. It brings us a proud feeling as we have raised them well, but also one of sadness because this means they do not have to depend on us so much.
ReplyDeleteWonderful description of a teenage girl in love with her tunes.
