Remember when we were little and every time we saw adults they would go crazy over how fast we were growing? How tall we were just mystified them. We would hear endless jokes about slowing down time so we would stop getting older. Well....I was one of those grown ups today. I saw two girls I haven't seen in a bit and it blew my mind to see how big they had gotten. How old they seemed. How tall.
I also got to watch two little stars in a musical production today at our adorable little theater. I have watched Ousmani grow for years now. I taught her sweet little face back when she was tiny. I watched as she painted rainbows and galloped around like a pony. I often encouraged her to dance like the butterfly that she was...a free spirit...my little pixie. Today, she wore wings...butterfly wings and I teared up just a bit. She is my curly haired little buddy and it is amazing to see how beautiful she is in spirit. I also have watched little Alyssa grow up through the years. She stole the stage with her dancing and singing. She shone like a little star. I wish I would've recorded it because it just might be one of those moments they end up showing on talk shows once the star is all grown up and famous.
It was fun to take the kids to see a cute little show but it was extra special to know the stars.
