Does one ever grow accustomed to looking into the eyes of one's baby and seeing a huge great grown-up GIRL? In all her beautiful self-made glory I never knew I would see so much a whole entire person - more entire than I have ever felt - looking out at me from a face I know considerably better than my own, because I've never spent as long looking at my face as I have at hers.

This evening at dinner, I saw the woman Linnea will be. Just for a minute, but there she was, just as the baby is still there, but hard to see all the time.

I am awed.

Given that my six year old is nearly as tall as me (and is now taking a size 1 shoe to my size 4!), that doesn't seem so farfetched to me :-/

I'm 5'10" and I'm the midget in my own household.

There is no justice. There is however revenge :)
