And guess what - it doesn't change no matter how many years you add ... you find yourself saying, "well, she does this or thinks that or believes this because she's 13!" And you're so right, the time passes and they grow another whole set of behaviours and beliefs and practices and they too become annoying on those days when you just long for everything to go smoothly. And yet - its such important growing :-) And six is such a beautiful age - especially the skipping bit. I love the skipping bit. At 13, a girl can still skip, especially when she sees her mum coming to pick her up and it just makes me rush hot all over and my eyes become watery. Lucky you having such a beautiful 6 year old.Lily Boothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18385219883166874326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21896267.post-36634097607043630072011-01-19T03:24:42.890-05:002011-01-19T03:24:42.890-05:00Nice vignette of he who is six!
