Growing up!!!!!
Who would have thought that this blog post would be coming from a mother of two, full time student, and fiance? You know how when you were smaller you always wanted to be older than you actually were. My mother used to always say, " you think you want to be older, but there is alot that comes with adulthood, just enjoy being young sweetie." Once again I should have listened. She says, when you have bills come to you house in your own name then that's when you know you are grown. She was right once again. As children we often mistake being young as a downfall or a set back. Those were definitely the times. Now I am a mother with bills of my own. I would give almost anything to go back and relive childhood for a day. I love my life, but being an adult can be stessful. I try every chance I get to make sure that my little Kaelyn is enjoying being a little girl. So many young parents dress their kids as if they are adults with little short shorts and revealing tops. I want my daughter to know that she can be just as beautiful fully dressed. Beauty is internal and that's what I want her to appreciate most.

Hello Narita.
You are so right. All to often kids rush to be grown and as parents we sometimes push them up the ladder. I have a five year old and a ten year old and I try to let them be kids. As I teach them and give them advice, I let them go on and make a few mistakes on their own. I tell my son, who is 10, "have fun and just don't get hurt or in trouble."

Narita,
Such an insightful post! I agree wholeheartedly. Kids cannot possibly understand the world the way adults do (or should), and parents need to remember that! Being a kid is such a great thing. Why waste it on adulthood?!
