She's growing up

She used to cry till she vomitted on one occassion even, when I tried to wash her hair. Now, she takes the hand shower and says "Look, mummy, I can wash my own hair. I like to wash my own hair."

We used to have to hold her down, while one of us quickly spurt some medicine into her mouth using a syringe whenever she was sick. Now, she just makes a face and says "Yuck!"

She used to run under the table and hide when my own sister comes to visit. Or bury her face in her papa's chest when faced with strangers. Now, her teacher says she may be the MC for their kindy concert.

We used to have to walk and sing her to sleep as she cried so much at night as an infant. Now, she says "I can't sleep! I don't want to sleep!"

My girl is growing up so fast, right before my very eyes!
