Hillbilly Chic

It seems like Princess is growing by leaps and bounds.

A phrase that I didn’t quite *get* until I went from buying size 6 to size 8 in the span of two weeks.

It seems as if every time that I turn around — a pair of shorts is too short, a shirt is too tight or a tooth is loose.

Last night she walked up to me with a strange expression on her face.

“Mom, my tooth feels funny”

I touch the tooth.  I wedge it slightly to the right.

All of a sudden — I have a tooth in my hand.

Another bit of childhood slipping away.

Nathan’s texted reply — “All she needs now is one of Grandpa’s banjos and her Hillbilly look will be complete”

      Her face has already become so much a shimmer more of a who she’ll become instead of a sweet baby.
