Growth spurt
It’s happened so many times before that Avery now knows the drill: When I give her an unhappy look as I’m helping her get into a pair of pants or dress, it means we’ll soon be packing away that item of clothing. “Last time?” or “Growth spurt?” she’ll ask me with a sympathetic look before throwing her arms around me. (She knows how sentimental I am!) It happened again yesterday, when a dress that I swear fit her just a few weeks ago was suddenly too short. We measured her and confirmed that she had, indeed, had a growth spurt.
I’ve been a mom for almost seven years, and I’m still amazed at how kids literally grow overnight!
