Well, it's a fact. I can't stop them. They insist on growing up no matter how much I threaten, cajole, or bribe. Daisy has stylish new "big girl" glasses with a more rectangular shape and purple no less. This is proof she's growing, even if it is in millimeters. The opthamologist finally deemed her head too big for her old circle ones. She does indeed look more grown up and ready to head to school. In fact, just today, as she started her third day of school, she looked up at me and said, "Mommy, when we get to the hallway, can you let me go? I know the way. " Bwahhhwahhhwahh. Me (in my head), "I don't know! I'm not ready!" Me (out loud), "Okay." sniff sniff. We made it halfway down the hall before she remembered. Then she looks up at me, "Hey! Wait just a minute." and starts backing up. Indeed, she walked on by herself. I don't get so much as a kiss or hug these days. Thank goodness she has no interest in going past lunchtime- yet.

Uh, is there nothing newsworthy in this house but missing teeth? Seems like it based on the ole blog these days. I told Helen she was beginning to look like a Jack-o-lantern! Ok, I promise something other than teeth photos next time...
