Growing up to soon

Lillie's birthday is in a week and I have been busy getting ready for it.  For her birthday Lil wanted her room to be "Duked out" so I have been painting, making her a Duke quilt, getting her posters and pictures and painting all her furniture "Duke" blue.  When I was pregnant with Harley Moma Jo let her pick out paint for her room, Lillie picked out bubble gum pink with purple trim. She was into Disney Princess and thats what we did her room in.  You can tell how your kids grow up with their rooms, first we did the princess, then Bratz, then Hannah Montana and now Lil wants Duke. She is so much like her Aunt Trin (Sissy). She can trash talk with the best of them and she is a fanatic. It makes me sad in away to paint over her "little girl" room because my first baby is growing up. All I ever wanted to be was a mommy..  When I first found out I was having a baby I knew it was a girl. I bought all girl stuff  and named her Lillie from the start.. She has always been such a good sweet spirited girl. She is growing up so fast and I wish I could slow time down. She is still so innocent and loves to play with dolls and her little brother and sister, but how long can that last?  As sad as her growing up makes me, I am also excited to watch her grow into the beautiful young lady she is, I just wish I could slow it down.
