One tooth, Two teeth, Too Much for me!

The past couple of weeks have gone by in a blink.



Where has June gone and by the way where has my baby gone??






Besides the two camping trips, a beach trip, swim team beginning and kindergarten ending I have been overwhelmed by my growing, changing, adorable 6 year old. Not only do her mannerisms seem to have taken on a smarty swing that I am not used to, her face and looks seem to be so drastically changing that I can't keep up and I find myself often staring at her in sadness. Now I know why (maybe) my mom would be staring at me and I would give her the exhausted "WHAT?" "like, stop looking at me MMMOOOMMM!"

In the past couple of weeks, Anna Clare has turned into a kid who can pick up my spelling of words out so they won't know what i am talking about. She is constantly reading my mail, my mind, my eyes... i can't keep anything from her. She has this voice of, I am not going to say teenager, but older child! When she was at nana's this past week we had a phone conversation and it was like I was just talking to my friend. "what did you do today, mom?" "Oh, that is cool, we did something kinda like that..." "well, do you think you can come to the show (VBS performance)?" "Well, that is okay, maybe next time we can get it on the caleneder and you could come then" "well, it was great talking to you, mom, but I have to go now b/c i told nana i would look at something on the computer with her" I was left stuttering... well "o o o kay" We had just had a 20 min. conversation where my daughter was leading the conversation in every way and we both seemed to really enjoy it! I pray for phone conversations like that daily! (but not until she is older, you know what i mean)

I know I am getting a little sappy but like I said I am overwhelmed with it all! And to top it all off she has lost two teeth in the past three weeks. And her face has gotten freckles, that are just so adorable, but it all makes her look so different to me, my baby is a big girl.
Am I ready for this???
