Slow Down

Tonight, I looked at my baby girl and suddenly, she looked tall, her soft, chubby limbs looked long and slender. In an instant, she looked like a little girl. I stifled my moan of dismay and tried to snuggle her in my arms, to which she simply pushed away and danced for me in the middle of my living room, saying, "I want to be a ballerina." Oh, my baby, not so fast, not so fast. Let your mama's heart catch up just a little.
