The end of her childhood

 
 
The last few months have been monumental for my eldest child.
 
She has graduated from high school, the last two under stressful circumstances. Received two awards, been accepted into ACU in the young achievers program, before op results were released!, got beautifully frocked up for her formal, and turned 18.
 
I can't believe I have an 18 year old daughter. I have an ADULT child. How did that happen?
 
She is amazing. Her tenacity will get her far in life. She never never gives up.
 
I wonder where she got that from? ;)
 
I love you Lauralei. To the moon and back.

    Hey I have a pic or two (or more!) from Seaworld on my blog today too! Your daughter's school uniform is v similar to Miss 17's. What a big year 2013 was for both of us. Oh and she looks gorgeous in her formal gown - love the colour!

      Incredibly proud :) She continually blows me away. Her confidence and tenacity far exceeds mine at the same age.
