Growing Up

Today, while feeding Tessa her lunch, I apologized to her for forgetting to get her more fruit after she'd asked three times. I explained that I have a cold and all the gunk in my head is making me dizzy and a bit more absent minded than usual. She quickly replied, "No mom, it's just that you're growing up." I wasn't sure exactly what she meant by that so while I was mulling it over she added, "You are becoming a Grandma." As Noah began to explain to Tessa why I am not becoming a Grandma yet I smiled. I remember my mom, her Grandma, telling Tessa she's getting older and more forgetful. I guess I am growing up early.
