Oh, to be young again . . .



During summer, I love watching the freedom my little girls have.


No worrying, "I wonder what my hair looks like right now?"


No asking, "Should I be eating this chip?"


Not saying, "I hope my butt doesn't look too big right now."




Oh, to be not one bit shy in a swimsuit. To not even be concerned that the top is falling down.


And to pose for a picture while wearing a swimsuit!

Should I break it to them that these days might not last forever? Should I tell them that wearing a swimsuit will one day become something to fear? That removing a wet swimsuit will be something to dread? Should I inform them that one day, a day far off in their future, the worst moment will be when they take those first steps out into the world wearing that swimsuit, worrying about just what is wiggling and jiggling as they walk along the water?

Nah. Why ruin it for them?
