Child at Heart
Clay and I were talking about how big Bree is now. And hoping that Bree would outgrow us both.
This made me think, when i was 8 yrs old, i was just 3'11. Bree is 4'3".
I wore size 1.5 shoes then, Bree wears size 3.5 now.
She has blond highlites on her hair. Mine was plain black, apple-cut style.
However, Bree is still very much a little kid. Today, she had a girl scout activity at the Johnny Carson Park in Burbank. When i picked her up at 12pm, all the other girls were going to their cars where their moms were waiting. But not Bree. She said in a begging voice, "Mom, can i play in the playground for 5 minutes?" She was using her genuine begging voice, so i said yes. She ran, or rather, skipped towards the swing/slide/monkeybar combination playset. She was playing alone, but was very happy. That's when i realized she is still a child.
