Peter Pan

This precious little thing stayed home from school sick today.  Actually, she was sick yesterday and I'm a ruler follower.  You must be fever free for 24 hours to go to school.  So today, she got to go to work with me.  On the way inside I had my arm around her back and told her I really didn't want her to grow anymore.  I told her this was the perfect age and she can stop growing now.

She looked up at me, and in a choked up voice said, "Sometimes I don't want to grow anymore either.  I could stay this way forever....like Peter Pan."  Aaahhh, way to melt a Mama's heart!  That's a moment I'll cherish forever!
