Arms & Legs

Filed in archive Parenting by Michelle Donahue Hillison on April 24, 2008

This morning I saw the coltish long legs of a pre-teen rolling out of her bed this morning. At almost ten, she's growing longer and more lanky. It's like someone stretched her out. She's still on the short side but she is more legs than anything now it seems.

She put on a shirt that should have been too big. It was baggy but it fit fine on the arms and length.

She put on shorts that should have been long bermuda shortslinks. They were almost as small in the waist as the waist-adjustable band could be but they hit her like regular shorts, not bermuda shorts.

Last week I relented and let her try on a bikini. Unlike before, it fit well - appropriately.

Where did these legs come from?

I look at them in wonder - how did they get there? They are so thin, banged up from soccer and her knees seem so clunky right now. She even runs differently now, a bit off kilter as if she is trying to figure out how to use them.

Soccer ends soon and swim team starts up right as it ends. I'm curious to see the longer leaner kiddo in the water. No so curious on the bikini though.
