August 3, 2007 Frances Friday: Big School Girl 
How did this happen?
She has two more weeks off with her Daddy, then two weeks off with her Mummy, before she officially starts school. But she is no longer in her daycare, no longer a preschooler. I can't wrap my head around it. When did that little tiny baby whose head fit in the crook of my elbow when I held her tiny feet become this little girl with the blond pigtails in the pretty pink dress she picked out by herself? Wasn't it just last week that she learned how to roll from her stomach to her back? Wasn't it just this weekend that she took her first wobbly steps? Didn't I start back at work again just the other day?
Guess not.

Her hair just grows like that. And grows and grows and grows. This was a week or so after a haircut. It's impossible to keep on top of it. Thanks, everyone. She is a sweet girl. Posted by: Andrea at August 3, 2007 1:22 PM

Congratulations Frances!! Thanks for the photos Andrea! Posted by: Sue at August 3, 2007 3:39 PM
Such a sweet girl. The time goes by SO fast. It seems like just yesterday that I was nursing Offspring, and now she's almost as tall as my mother. We had to buy Offspring new tennis shoes for the coming school year, and she now wears one size smaller than I ido. She's eleven, going on thirty-five. I LOVE the pics of Frances. I just wish I could see her beautiful little face. (Though I totally understand why you don't post those pics.) Congratulations, Frances! You're such a big girl!
