What happen to staying little?

This is Jordan. Ain't she cute?

I started watching Jordan and her siblings when I was 16

She used to tell me she never wanted to grow up

&& that she wanted to stay little forever.

She used to hold my hand when we crossed the street,

&& want to wear makeup for fun.

We used to watch High School Musical together,

&& make up silly dances.

She used to ride the lawn mower around the yard && pretend she was driving.

She used to sit on my lap, && tell me boys were gross,

&& comfort me about breakups.

Then she started liking boys,

&& stopped holding my hand,

&& stopped needing a babysitter.

She got even more pretty,

&& started going on dates,

&& wearing makeup all the time,

I have shed a tear or 2 watching her grow.

Now she goes to dances for real,

&& I started comforting her about breakups.

&& as of last week, she drives, not just the lawn mower.

&& now SHE'S 16

Happy 16th Birthday Jordan.
