Wellies

We bought Zoe new rain boots today.

I pulled her size off the rack saying, “These look huge. No way will they fit you. Here…try them on.” She tried them on, and they fit, and my mama heart crumbled.

Gone is my baby who wears cute little rain boots with froggies or Hello Kitty or lady bugs. Gone are the adorable weensy shoes that encase her adorable weensy feet.

Now I have a young lady wearing boots that look like something I would wear. Actually, they are something I would wear but they didn’t have my size.

Slow down, child. Slow down.
