Right Before My Very Eyes

My daughter is growing up so quickly! Its funny how you don't really notice it from day-to-day but then she does something and it stops you in your tracks when you realize how big she is. This morning she did something mundane........she skipped by me and reached up to the top of the tv shelf to get the remote. When did she get tall enough to do that on her own? She didn't hesitate....didn't look around for a chair or a stool, just knew that she could do it, no biggie. I blinked and looked at her. Like really looked at her. She is growing taller and a bit more slender. She is reading up a storm and her new favorite show to watch with us in the evenings is How It's Made. She enjoys school and really likes math. She gets good marks on her spelling tests and like to play those hand-jive games (Lemonade -clap, clap, clap- crunchy ice- clap, clap, clap-) She is such a beautiful girl.........if only she was a neat freak! *wink*
