When did you grow so big?

Travis asked me when Megan grew up today when she was laying sideways on the stairs.  She didn't fit.  She was trying to keep little Chloe off of the stairs.  She is always trying to get up those stairs.  She makes it up them 30% of the time, because she has gotten so quick.  I was trying to keep her downstairs today while putting a late breakfast on the table.  She just wanted to climb the stairs I think.  She just kept trying.  I finally had to have Travis hold her for a second while I finished and then stuck her in her high chair.  While we were eating breakfast I asked Megan.  "When did you grow so big?"  She got a smile and looked sideways.  She was pretty proud of herself.  Seriously I think she grew 3 inches in the past 3 days.  That can't be possible.  I just ordered her some Scholastic books for sight words.  Weird.  My little girl is going to be reading before you know it.  She is an elephant when it comes to remembering things.  Or at least that is what Travis says.  "Who's a little elephant?"  I don't think Megan really knows why, but she always says "ME".  An elephant never forgets.

Megan's First Day of School

"For you, there'll be no more crying.  For you, the sun will be shining.  And I feel that when I'm with you,It's alright. I know it's right.  To you, I'll give the world to you." -- Fleetwood Mac

My dear little Megan.  You are such a wonderful girl.  You have so many talents and beauties that you have yet to discover.  You have embarked on a wonderful journey today.  Thru ups and downs and twists and turns.  You are going to have so much fun.  You are going to make so many new friends.  You are always so quick to help someone.  Like when you were telling me about that "poor little girl" with the hurt leg.  That is a great way to be.  Heavenly Father wants us to help other people out.  If you can see someone needs help, don't be scared.  They are scared also.  If you can help them, then you should.
Even if you aren't the queen that day in your class.  Remember that you can grow up to be a queen someday, just like mom.  You will need to be a good princess though.  I know that you will be.  You are such a good little girl.  Your mommy loves you.  Remember to ask for help from your Heavenly Father if you need to.  Just say a little prayer in your head.  You can always talk to your mom and dad.  We love you very much.
