Has your child ever done anything that made you blink and think, "Oh my, when did she get so big?"

The Mermaid just did something that made me blink like that.


It's something so small, and yet...so big.


She simply walked into the kitchen, and without saying a word, opened the fridge, opened the fruit drawer and took out the bag of apples. She then took the last apple out of the bag, closed the drawer and the fridge, threw the empty bag away, then walked out.

Such a simple act, but it makes such a big statement as to how independent and big she is getting. She's not the little girl anymore, who would have to ask for the apple and then wait while I cut it up.

My baby girl is getting big.....
