The passage of time, it freaks me out

See that small baby I am holding in the icon I used on this post? That is Princess Tickybox, my niece-by-proxy. (She has been known to gloat to other kids that she has a Scary Godmother and they don't.)

This is Princess Tickybox today:



OH MY GOD, SHE IS IN KINDERGARTEN. MY WEE TICKYBOX GIRL, GROWING UP.

In other news, I am working from home today, as Monday night's sleep was defective, and while last night's sleep was not, I cannot wake up. Working remotely while in jammies it is!

Aw, what a cutie!

And she shares her birthday with a certain someone too ;)

I know the feeling about how fast they grow up though. As soon as we got down to CA after the Vampire Ball earlier this year, my "little" niece immediately put on *my* Eleanor Jacket ~ and it just fit. I'll have to post a photo sometime (of course I got ones of her in the jacket!)... She actually looks a little like a slightly older version of Princess Tickybox.

Two of my favorite people, with the same birthday! That always makes me happy when I think about it.

One of these days, we'll have to try and share a tea-party themed one with all of us celebrating together!

(I notice she coloured in the drawing to be pink with stripes ~ nope, no influence there at all...)

ZOMG she is adorable! :D And totally rocking that pink leopard-print shirt.

I am the Fairy Gothmother to two younglings. People get a kick out of it, until they figure out exactly what it means. :P

Time IS freaky.

Even without a TARDIS.

Cute and a button with a little evil smile going on. I like it!

The passage of time is freaking me out as well. A girl I use to babysit and change her diapers . . . is now entering grade 8! Aaaa! She is a teen! (very smart and well behaved to) I feel you pain.

You should have seen her and Abby playing together. Holy cats.

[staxxy.livejournal.com]

I feel your pain.

my actual niece turns *15* at the end of this month (it does not seem like so long ago that I was hanging on the phone with her mother while she was in labor). And my own Fairy GothDaughter turns *16* in November (when she will be able to get her driver's license!).


*faints*

Time passage, do not want.

Please see witterings from earlier this year about cousin's children I clearly remember dandling on my knee who have now GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE. How the hell does this happen?

I am appreciative to see some color outside the lines in that photo, though. (My MiL has been caught ordering our nephew to stay within the lines. I was glad I heard this second-hand.)

What a sweet wee bairn!

(Sending the sleep fairies your way...)

My son will be legal to drive in less than two years. Stay off the sidewalks.

They do grow up so fast.

[ladymoira.livejournal.com]

It always strikes me how beautiful she is. Of course it shouldn't considering how beautiful her parents are.

[usagi-moon.livejournal.com]

They grow up so fast don't they? :P
