Bigger...

Well, I have to say that my heart broke, just a little, today.
My sweet baby girl is getting older - I know this.

As I was making lunch yesterday, she asked if it was OK to watch something on TV while I prepared. Sure.

So, I scan the Public TV channels, Nick and Disney to see which choices I will offer (as this is a luxury that will soon disappear when reading skills improve to an even higher level). Let's see...Dora, Imagination Movers, Sesame Street, Dinosaur Train, etc.

I choose that old favorite, Sesame Street.

She looks as me and breaks my heart with one word, "bigger."

She has summed up what she wanted and made the last few years flash before me, all at once. It isn't that I am SO in love with watching Sesame Street - it is just that she is not anymore.

My little girl is growing up so fast.
