Kiss it

It happened while I was feeding this little guy, 

that I realized Eden is growing up. 

To be honest, it kind of hit me hard.

Only days ago, we were looking at pictures of her cousins,

who only years ago, were so small, and now they're grown.

And I felt it.

I knew right then and there that my little girl is growing up too.

She came to me to show me a bug bite on her elbow,

naturally asking me to kiss it.

But that kiss,

it didn't make it any better.

It's small,

the bite and the whole incident I write about.

But it makes me know, she's definitely growing up.
