lol she's actually going as Katniss Everdeen this year, and has been growing her hair out specifically so she could have the braid. But we've joked about her soon to be status of Titanium Girl (which is clearly better than Iron Man since Titanium doesn't rust ) or some other superhero moniker. Guess we need to confirm that her surgeon is using Titanium and not steel before we choose her supergirl name lol
She has her moments, though (we all do), as would be expected. The other night, she realized she wouldn't be able to try out for the school musical she really wanted to be part of (not that she would have been guaranteed a spot). Tryouts will be the day of and day after her last surgery, so no can do. She got upset, and the "why me??" came out, but she moved past it the next day. She already knew she was almost certainly going to miss her second band concert of the year because of the timing of her surgeries and being out of school, but her band teachers promised they'd send home the music for her to work on. If she's feeling up to it by that point (early December), we'll take her to the concert so she can at least be there. I remind myself that things like missing tryouts or a band concert are tiny for us adults, but a huge deal for kids her age when they can't yet fathom that other opportunities will always come along. I'm sure we'll all learn a lot of lessons in the coming months, adults just as much as our kids.
