This sweet girl. She's Ten. What a wonderful day it was to spend with just HER. So much has changed in the last year and it was important to pause and to really capture these changes. Choosing her wardrobe at Ten is a totally different experience, one that now seems to go on and on with many exasperated sighs, grunts and usually some shouting. Suddenly Ten cares how her clothes fit, how her hair falls and begs to wear just a little mascara. I can't buy her clothes anymore without her. Ten has her own opinions and thoughts about, well, everything. We started our day Downtown, as Ten wants to be a little more grown up and that's where you go when you're mature, apparently. But, Ten doesn't want too many people around while mom is shooting her portraits, that's weird. So we had to walk and walk to find those secluded spots where no one else would see. There was a lunch date, but Ten doesn't eat on the kid menu anymore, though she'd still like the crayons. We finished her session at the University of Denver, my alma mater, and Ten loved this location best. We talked about my classes, silly things I used to do and who I used to be. We even ran into one of my professors, who actually remembered me, all of a sudden I was a little cooler in Ten's eyes. Maybe. I can't believe she's Ten. And, while I know so much more change is a comin' and quick, I love this Ten, thing. She brings us so much joy! Happy Birthday, Callie. We just love you so.
