Growing Pains

Eliza, "Mom, when will we look like first graders?

Mom, "You already do. You will start first grade in a few weeks."

Eliza, "No. I mean, when will we look like big kids?"

Mom, "You are growing a little bit every day."

Eliza, "I don't get it. That's ridiculous! Every day when I look in the mirror in the morning, I still look the same!"

That reminds me of Julianne. When she was 2 years old and looking forward to her upcoming birthday I had been telling her that she would be such a big girl when she was 3. She woke up that morning and looked a little disappointed. When I asked her what was wrong she said she thought she would be taller. She was convinced that since I had been telling her for so long that she'd be a big girl that she'd wake up the morning of her birthday and have grown a few inches in the night. :)

So cute! Why is it that little ones always want to be bigger and older? I miss my kids being little. Don't get me wrong, they are fun...but life was much easier when they were small.

That is too funny. You should show her some younger pictures, then maybe she will realize how big she has gotten :)
