Backpacks and ponytails...already!?

This morning - as I watched Kayla trot into school with her backpack on her back, her hair pulled back into a beautiful little shiny pony tail of loose red curls, the confidence of a 16 year old in the adorable body of a 2 year old - I could not believe how quickly time flies and how fast she is growing up! She went into her classroom and hung her backpack on her hook and looked back at me with those big brown eyes and I just wanted to scream - slow down honey! This is all going too fast!!! This having all followed her waking up and as I went into her room she was holding her (fake) cell phone and saying "Nel Nel called!" with the phone held tightly to her ear. At least it's still Grammy Nel Nel that she get's excited about getting calls from rather than some little boy...although I'm sure that's not far off either! Can we please slow down time for a little while!?
