My youngest got her first period on her 13th birthday. As it happened, we'd already planned to dress up and take her out to a nice restaurant where there's a live orchestra and dancing, and that's what we did! I have a beautiful photograph of her from that night and I wouldn't trade anything for our 'double celebration.'

I gave my 2 girls all the supplies they might choose from (well, not the diva yet) and they've managed themselves well. Tampons were a little tricky at first (we sort of went through a box apiece until they were able to do it, but after that I heard no complaints.) The youngest is really tiny so we are always scavening through WalMart for junior size!
