Is your child growing faster than you would want her/ him to? Join the club. Just the other day, I could pick mine up using one hand only..she was born 2.65 kgs, her knees being her most knobbily outstanding feature, hairy face and crinkled eyes. My beloved brat.
I watch her even as I type this out, her brow scrunched in concentration, playing webkinz on the computer.
Last night when she was trying on her new night shirt (green, with Tinkerbell on it), she came to me for an opinion. I slowly gathered my arthritic thought processes together, trying to focus beyond the immediate problem of putting leftovers back in the refrigerator. I said "Babe you look ssssssss"..and could not find the right word. She kindly finished my sentence.."Sassy?".."Nope, not the right word" said I timidly. "Sexy?" came the next tentative suggestion :-).
As I held onto the banister, I somehow managed to find the long lost "Ssssmokin' !!" and bleat it out. Wow. The next time I will write my adjectives down for prompt retrieval. And her front teeth are not back yet..
