The Dance

She is seven. Caught somewhere between a little girl who plays with dolls and the desire to be a big kid who loves the mall and wearing the latest styles. Grandma visited this weekend and brought Christmas presents; baby-doll toys, clay, a tea set, perfume and play makeup. She was equally delighted by them all. Later, she joined the big girls' shopping trip with Grandma where she sweet talked her way into "kid bras". Three of them. Tonight, she begged me to do laundry because she needed a clean one for tomorrow. She's worn them all in 24 hours. She needed a shower after layering her new perfume only to send Loves Baby Soft drifting down the stairs within minutes again anyway. She is big and not.
