<p>Today, Little One turns <em>THIRTEEN YEARS OLD!!! </em></p>
<p>*sniff*</p>
<p>How did this happen??? I specifically told her she was NOT to grow past the age of ten. I know I did! I even made her sign an agreement. So what if she was asleep and it&#8217;s not her signature? <em>That&#8217;s irrelevant!!</em> The point is she is supposed to stay my little one, my punkin, my baby, especially since the other two disobeyed me as fast as they could.</p>

<p>But no&#8230;. She just HAD to go and start growing up. And not just in age, but in height, too. I am officially the shortest person in the family.</p>
<p>*wails*</p>
<p>But I will get over it. A birthday means cake, and fun, and happiness. And even though she is commencing her path to adolescence and leaving her childhood behind, that just means I <del>get to throw fits and cry like a baby</del> get to enjoy her new-found confidence and charm.</p>
<p>That is, until she makes me mad. Then all bets are off 😉</p>
<h1>HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LITTLE ONE!!!</h1>
