How much longer?

Kate and her friend Luke have enjoyed baths together at odd times here and there for most of their lives. This past week Luke came to spend the night with us and without a thought I plopped them in the tub together - both for their fun times as well as for my own time efficiency. As they were splashing and laughing together I sat there amazed at how much you can tell they've grown up these past few months just by watching how they interact and play.

My next thought was to go get the camera because if they've grown up this much lately, then who knows how much they'll grow up in the next few months? And it won't take much more growing up before these sweet days of being free to take a bath with one of your friends who just happens to be a boy will be a thing of the past for my precious girl. Kate's so thankful for her dear friend Luke - and even if they get too old to bathe together sometime soon, there's no doubt they'll be good friends for a very, very long time!
