When I get bigger

“Baby, turn the light off in the bathroom,” I said, as I was gearing down to start Bible time.

“Mommy, I can’t reach it. I have to get bigger,” she replied, in her cute little voice with a wistful look on her face.

I just started laughing. My baby wistfully thinking about the day when she will be tall enough to turn off the bathroom light.

“Mommy, are you laughing at the baby?” Rowan inquired.

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“Because she’s funny. You’re funny. And your brother’s funny,” I answered, still laughing.

“When Rowan was three she could turn off the bathroom light,” Jory announced.

And now the reminiscing on the past begins. Of what everyone could do when they were those faraway ages of three and four. Who knew kids liked doing this?
