Girls of Different Ages

I took two photos of my girls today, and both not only reveal their different ages, but just how fast they are growing up. Scarily fast.

This one was of Jessie, who was going out with her friend Charlotte to the movies. I did her hair, which remarkably held up well. But look at how grown up she looks. Hand on hip, handbag to go (filled with epipen, puffer and tissues), even a 'tattoo' on her arm. Crazy stuff.

This one is of Maddi, who lost yet another tooth last night just before she went to bed. That one remaining tooth on the top row is about to come out too. It's amazing how they have all come out so quickly and in one hit. She's finding it somewhat difficult to eat at the moment too, which is no surprise.

So yes, my two girls are growing up quick. I need to keep reminding myself to be as involved in their life as I can, or I could easily find myself missing large pieces of it without even knowing. That's the task at the moment.
