There's no stopping her

My baby is growing! She is totally not into dressy styling. She's into funky, cool fashion sense. Today, she wore denim shorts over purple leggings with butterfly inlays.


If only I can stop her from growing. But then I am also looking forward to a more mature bonding time with her. I'd like to go to Europe with her, shopping endlessly,  just sitting on the beach--- me with my books and she on the other hand, with her painting stuff probably creating the best scenery painting of cape Cod. I know I will not be able to stop time, but I can definitely enjoy her now. I love it when she asks me to fix her hair, when she asks me if her top matches her pants,  I secretly smile when she assures me she will always be with me--- even if the boys are out with their girls, I get a heavy heart when she tells me she will go to a local arts school so that she can take care of me and her dad and I cherish the time she makes me upset because she  is having "growing attitudes".

My girl is growing. I am afraid. I am cautious. I am confident that she will grow up to be what she envisions herself to be--- a  good teacher, an artist and a "good Mom, just like you Mom". This video makes me the proudest Mom in the world. In fact, I thought I was the best in the room full of great moms as well.
