The Gum Store

This is a story about:
JILLIAN

Let me first tell you she
LOVES
gum.
gum...gum...gum...gum...

Everyday I pick Jamison up from kindergarten.
At the corner is a Walgreen's.
Everyday when we drive by the store I hear,
"Can we go to the gum store?"
I reply,
"We have gum at home."
This is when the whining, crying and complaining starts.
By the time we return home she has stopped.

Today while reliving this little exchange
I was thinking how I will miss this next year.
It is rather cute she wants to go to the Gum Store.
Even if it is everyday.
Even when we have gum at home.
Even though she is determined to do it right NOW.

I love her and she is growing up so fast.
I am enjoying these moments while they last.
