Growing Up!

So lately I have been telling Madelynn that she needs to stop growing up!  In the past she would just laugh, but the other day she got really serious and told me "Mom, I can't stop now because I need to turn 8 so I can get my ears pierced and get baptized!!"  But she agreed that once she turned 8, she would stop growing!  So now when I tell her that she needs to stop growing she reminds me that she will stop growing when she is 8!!  If only that were true, I would be so happy!
