Why do kids have to grow up so quickly?  Really.  All of a sudden my daughter’s singing songs from the radio, wanting to wear girly clothes and generally just plain old growing up.  Excuse me?  She’s FIVE!  She’s even decided that she’s going to have a boy and girl and has even drawn a family portrait.  At least she still thinks that she’s going to marry her brother which gives me some solace in the fact that she isn’t interested in boys (however, I gather from my sources that there are a few that have crushes on her…again, she’s FIVE!).

Here’s her “family” including Nicholas and Holly (don’t ask me where she got those names from):

And a photo that reminds me she’s still my baby who can pout like nobody’s business!

Sigh….
