She's Got It. A Mom and Daughter Dialogue.

Oldest Daughter:  Mom, I am out of insulin.

Me:  OK.  Do you need my help?

Oldest Daughter:  No.  I got it.

Me:  Great!



Ten more minutes....


Oldest Daughter:  Mom, I forgot.  I have to change my pump battery.

Me:  Alright.  Did it just alarm?

Oldest Daughter:  Yes, but it happened earlier too.

Me:  OK.  Do you need my help?

Oldest Daughter:  No.  I got it.




Later that night...



Oldest Daughter:  Mom.  My site came off in the shower.

Me:  Oh-oh.  Well, let's get a new one.  Do you need my help?

Oldest Daughter:  No.  I got it. 



She's eleven and suddenly, she's got it. 

I couldn't be more proud. 

Now to make sure she knows that she doesn't have to carry it alone.

I got it too.
