Shorty

I found a health test that was taken for me when I was in 5th grade - 11 years young.  I was going through some old papers and there it was.  It was funny to see.  I showed Payton that I could run the mile in 8:47 (Payton made fun of me since she can run it faster) and that I could do 1 pull-up.  ha.  It also had my height and weight and man was I a giant!  I was 5 foot 1 inch and weighed 80 lbs!!!  Payton saw and all of a sudden got upset.  She said she was sick of being small.  And she wants to be tall like me.  I felt for her, because I do talk about how awesome it is to be tall, and we do talk about the girls being tall someday.  I didn't realize that it was having an effect on her.  She is pretty petite, she is 4 foot 7 and weighs 59 lbs.  But she said she gets made fun of all the time for being small.  Poor thing.  I hope she comes to realize that being small and petite can also be an advantage and you never know, she may grow.  I love her no matter what, but I realize I need to be more sensitive about those things to her now that she is getting older.
