Wanting to Be Bigger

Our daughter surprised us today. While the family was gathered in the kitchen after work, I heard some rustling behind me in the dining room. I looked to see my 2-year old setting silverware out on the table (we'd stacked the dinner dishes there). I went over and helped her finish, but she seemed to glow with that "I'm getting bigger!" aura. We let her know we were proud of her. She wants to be older and bigger so badly that, restless as she is, she will even do her older brother's chores. Though I don't mind her doing chores, I'm not sure I want my little girl to grow up that fast.
