Yesterday my baby turned 7.
SEVEN.
What is it about seven that suddenly seems so grown up? Why does seven sound so much older than six?
Maybe it is because SHE suddenly seems so much older.
Ever since I put her on that bus on the first day of school, she has been a different kid. I don’t know if it’s because it’s the first time in her little life that she’s in school for a full day, or if it is the friends she has made this year, or the extra responsibility of 1st grade, or if it was just inevitable, but she’s not my baby anymore.
She’s suddenly her own little person — spunky, confident, witty, charming. Not that she wasn’t already all of those things, but they are somehow magnified.
And now she’s seven.
Just. Like. THAT.
Happy Birthday, my precious little one!!!!

Happy Birthday to C! Wow, 7 – hard to believe since she was just a wee one when you moved to the hood!
I still remember a post from a few year ago when you were talking about it being her last year of preschool – my, how the time flies!
Happy b’day! She does look so grown up.
Good grief! I swear just yesterday I read the post about her preschool graduation!! Times flies!!
Happy Birthday!!! I see she has her mothers beautiful hair too!!
Snort. If by that you mean thin, straight and stringy, then yeah, I guess she does. LOL!
My baby is seven too, I know what you mean, it does seem like their suddenly beyond babyhood or small child hood? .. Happy Birthday to both of you! She’s beautiful!!
Happy Birthday! I guess I didn’t realize she and Gray are the exact same age! (His bday was the 7th)

Oh that’s funny. I didn’t realize that either. Hope it was a happy one for him! Am I the only one having a hard time with SEVEN!?
