She turned 12.  She had a sleepover, went to the movies, ate food she wanted, and enjoyed her cakes and presents.  I’ve also included here photos of her venturing out for bits of time as the weather warmed: these were her chosen set-ups when I kicked her out to “go outside and get some sun while it’s out!”  One day it was sunny for the whole day, and even a little warm, so we had our friends over and rang in the season with our first hot dog roast.
