*Your daughter Ava is happily leaning against a wall while your husband Adrian is holding a permanent marker.

He drew alittle line above her head. "Have I grown? Have grown?" She excitedly asked.

"Look for yourself." You replied, smiling at your little girl. Your daughter spun around and looked at where the line was marked.

Her jaw dropped, "I have!".

She threw her hands in the air and began jumping up and down, "Im growing, l'm growing!"

You and your husband lovingly watched as she danced, Right now Ava is six.

Not long ago she was barely crawling.. Time flies so fast. But you couldn't wait for the days that lie ahead.

You glanced at your husband and noticed that he wiped a tear from his cheek.

It might not seemlike a big deal, but as parents, a child's growth, no matter how small, will always make you cry*
