Big Little Girl

Last night on a routine nightly wake-up by Lydia, I go in and ask what she wants and this was our conversation:

Lydia: It's my birthday.

Tired Mommy: Not yet.

Lydia: It's my birthday soon.

Tired Mommy: Yes Honey but it's time to go back to sleep now.

This morning upon wake-up conversation:

Mommy: So it's your birthday soon.

Lydia: Yes Mommy, it's my birthday.

Mommy: I don't want you to have anymore birthdays.

Lydia: No more birthdays?

Mommy: You're not allowed to grow up anymore.

Lydia: I'm not growing up, I'm growing little.

Poor little Lydi, everybody including me keeps telling her what a big girl she is and she just wants to be a little girl:) I love my little girl!
