The time has come for the TALK with my daughter

I sit here this afternoon trying to plan out the "talk" with my daughter who will be 10 in two weeks. I have decided to break it up into 2 different talks mostly because we have viewed the sex ed for 4th graders at her school and find it acceptable for her to participate so I need to tell her before she hears it at school next week and because I think she may still be too young for the birds and the bees talk so we are just going to do the talk about becoming a women and a womens anatomy which is what the cirriculum covers at school as well. It blows my mind that we are already at this stage of life, but 25 percent of girls start their periods between ages 9-11 that is CRAZY to me. I can't even imagine my daughter having a period, man I am not ready for this. So this memorial day weekend will have a new memory in our house :) The woman talk. I am going to try and make it special but not embarrasing special just informative special. The birds and the bees talk will come later this summer. Anyway prayers are appreciated as we enter this new phase of life with children.
