When Did You Grow Up

When did you grow this much my child 

From my lap to my coffee table buddy,

From Mamma dress me up to maa wear this you will look pretty

From me wiping your tears to you wiping mine,

From cuddling with mamma to "maa I need me time "

From fountain ponytail to hair salon-style,

From loud laughter to controlled smile 

From maa draw me a tree to maa let me draw your face,

From that half hanging hugs to delicate embrace 

From me teaching you to hold a spoon to "maa let me cook something "

From restless nights and endless crying to face so comforting 

From Barbie doll to blue tooth headphones,

From shy little girl to girl so

 headstrong 

From those pink Tutu to fine Zara attire 

From twinkle twinkle Little stars to 

"This girl is on fire "
