Friday morning, Grace declared: "I’m all growed up!" The excitement of being "three-and-three-quarters" has given way to the euphoria of having a birthday around the corner. Later, when Grace was not behaving appropriately, I remarked that she was really not behaving "all growed up," as she had so recently claimed to be. She replied: "I only said I was all growed up because I looked so pretty." She’s right. She did look pretty (see above photo). And "growed up" – but not all growed up, thank goodness. I’m not ready for that yet – and thankfully, neither is she.
