So, I have been hoping Olivia will forget about shaving her legs, but it has become a daily question. I have the razor, shaving cream, and lotion. The one thing missing is the courage to shave a 10 year old little girl's legs. I know it is a self confidence issue rather than her wanting to be more 'grown up'. She hates all the hair on her legs. I just don't know how to approach the issue. Do I tell her that there are things about our body that we don't like and we have to learn to accept it, or do I shave her legs and teach her that just because we are able to 'remove this flaw' doesn't mean we can remove them all? I am in the midst of a dilemma and I need advice. I never thought I would really care this much, but I have been the mother to this child since she was 7. I am not ready to accept that she is growing up (beautifully, may I add). I am starting to think I am making this a bigger deal than she is. Hopefully she will grow up to appreciate the choices I have to make for her while she is still my little girl.
