never grow up

A music artist that so many young (and older) gals can look up to, I've always admired Taylor Swift and her success. But other than hearing her songs on the radio a few times, I never listened or paid much attention to much of her music until recently. A few months ago I bought her latest album (which is over a year old already) and I have really enjoyed it.

But probably not as much as Camille...one song in particular.

"Never Grow Up" has become the nightly lullaby for Camille.

We do the routine of changing her into her pj's, brushing her teeth & reading a book.

Once the light goes off, we lay there in the dark together until I hear:

"I want to hear Never Grow Up".

So of course, I break out my phone and I play it to her heart's content.

When I first heard this song, I'll admit, my eyes welled up and tears were flowing.

It is such a sweet song about not growing up too fast and not taking childhood for granted.

Really, it can pertain to anyone of any age.

I'm glad that Camille has taken a liking to it, and I think soon enough she too will understand the meaning of the song. She is even slowly learning the lyrics.

But I never want her to grow up.

It's happening too fast. :(
