Is she still little, or did she grow up?

As Kaylin's birthday has approached, I have been amused by the fact that she seems to be caught inbetween still being a little girl and changing into, well, not quite as little of a girl. For her birthday she was still asking for barbies, but also was requesting more grown up items, such as shoes and lotions and hats, being very specific in the style and trendiness of these items. Tonight she was saying our family prayer and she first was thankful she was turning 8 so she could be a member of the church, and I was thinking how grown up that seemed, but then she immediately followed that by asking for a good nights sleep and that she wouldn't stay up all night being too excited about her birthday. What an amusing age she is at!
