Daddy got me the latest Taylor Swift CD for Christmas this year. Actually, I saw it on sale at Target when we were Christmas shopping, and I said, "Hey, you should get that for me." So he did. Now I have all three of her albums. There are a couple of songs that are really getting to me lately. One of them is "Never Grow Up." Last night on our way home from church, we were listening to it, and I told you that it was a song about you. Here are some of the lyrics:
Your little hand's wrapped around my finger
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming
So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light
To you everything's funny, you got nothing to regret
I'd give all I have, honey
If you could stay like that
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
I won't let nobody hurt you, won't let no one break your heart
And no one will desert you
Just try to never grow up, never grow up
Now, don't get me wrong. I do want you to grow up, Paige. I just don't know how it's happening so fast. I'm just trying to soak it all in, but it seems like the days and weeks and months are just slipping by. Can't you just stay little for a bit longer?

The days are long and the years are short. Precious times.
Sigh. Is there anything better than hearing them read books? Love it! And I love how she leaned in to Ben at the very end of the video. So sweet.
And if you figure out a way to slow down this whole growing up process, show me. I have to send Blake to school this year. :O
