Grow up
Madison: Mommy what am I going to look like when I grow up?
Me: Like you do now, only bigger.
Madison: Am I going to look like a big old person? Will I be fat or skinny?
Me: I dont know Madison. I cant see in to the future.
Madison: Yes you can. You can see me but I cant see myself.
Me: True but I can only see you now but I dont know what you will look like later. What do you think you are going to look like when you grow up?
Madison: Hmmm. I don't know. Well I dont even want to be a grown up. I want to stay a kid.
I wish I could freeze this moment too. I wish I could make it so all my babies were babies and that time changes nothing. And now she has me thinking. What will they all look like when they grow up? I feel like I am in a movie- when the parent looks at their grown up child and sees them when they were young. Only, the opposite. I am looking at them picturing them grown. I bet I will always be in awe like I am now.
