Growing up...

Why do little girls have to grow up?

First they are so little and cute and will wear anything, including little over-alls with elastic ankle pants.

Then they get a little older and want to wear party dresses for their birthday - with tights.

And are still willing to dress up for Christmas - even going to far as to wear matching hats!

And then they grow up.  And go shopping with friends to try on dresses for some future homecoming dance and look like this.

And this.  Oh my.  I want my  baby back!!!
