Growing Too Fast

A convo between me and E, getting her pj's on:

E: It was my birthday.
M: Yes, baby, in June.
E: When I'm done with 3, I'll be 4.
M: Yes.
E: When I'm done with 4, I'll be 5.
M: mmhmm
E: That'll be fun. Then after 5, I'll be 14.
M: What? No way.
E: Yes way. Then I'll be 17!!
M: :( Don't you want to stay my baby girl forever??

5 going on 14...then 17?!
I literally was just telling the Daddy that maybe ridiculous big hair and puffy sleeves will be back in fashion when E goes to her high school dances. (after seeing the tube top dress choice of a friend's daughter...aye yai yai!)

I mean, it was hard enough for me to transition from:
 to
 to

I mean really, Emmy, what's wrong with staying like this forever??

Don't mean to scare you but wait until her first day of official school. The next thing you know ... HS graduation / college graduation. Just like w/ your parents, Miss E & Wessie will ALWAYS be your babies. Enjoy the "cute" before they hit double digits (10+) & you become the most ignorant person in the world. It'll get better as they get older & you can be friends again.

I told you before you need to stay two steps ahead of her at all times.
