Who is this kid?
Who is this LITTLE girl?
This girl with whispy curls?
This girl with bangs and a purple back pack?
This girl who still lets her mommy brush her hair?
Who still shoots a smile at the camera when asked to?
Who's not too cool for school?
Who is still a LITTLE sister and not a big one yet?
Who brings stuffed animals out in public?
Who gets tickle attacked by her uncle?
Who thinks being silly is fun?
Who thinks being a grown up is all about wearing makeup?
Who lets Mommy dress her for picture day?
This girl who is learning how to be a big sister?
This girl with messy hair who still sits on Winnie the Pooh chairs?
And makes faces at her Mom?
Who thinks making brownies with her mom is super fun?
And who still wears Arm Floaties?
Who doesn't have a fashion sense?
Who is learning about how to be a big kid?
But also who is learning how to still be a little kid?
I see this little girl...
In her Barbie pajamas...
With that sparkle in her eyes...
Who still gets loose teeth...
And writes papers about loving her family...
And while she will always be this little to me....
Tomorrow, she will be thirteen....
