Childhood.....

Day 12 - What I miss.....

Sheesh, these topics just never get an easier, huh? 

There are certainly people that I miss....the grandparents that I've lost, friends I don't see often enough, and friends that I've grown apart from through the years. 

I truly miss being a kid, though. 

I feel so grateful for every new chapter in my life and for how God has blessed me with so much more than I deserve. I don't want to go back to any point in my life, but I do miss the innocence of childhood. 

I miss......

 - snow days filled with snow suits that made bending your elbows nearly impossible. 

 - pretending when it didn't take so much effort. 

- being oblivious to anything and everything outside of The Carebears and snack time.

-  running to my dad, mom, or mamaw to answer my toughest questions...like which crayon to use in my color by numbers picture. 

- when my Polly Pockets and Lisa Frank notebooks were my most prized possessions. 

And I just reallllllllly miss having dinner made for me every night, ok???!! 

Just bring me back to a time when it was considered acceptable to wear perfectly matchy matchy outfits with my sisters and it was cute when I asked inappropriate questions.

Yep, that's me....bottom left. I think it's safe to say that I DO NOT miss any hairstyle that I had as a child. Why didn't my parents like me enough to give me a Toddlers and Tiara hairstyle like my twin sister Candice (next to me)?????  

But seriously....I can't wait to experience all of  these things with my future children. What a sight it will be to watch them experience everything that I so fondly remember.
