At Girl Scouts last night, in a group of girls exactly her age, Em was easily the tallest by a couple of inches.  It&#8217;s beginning to present some challenges.<\/p>\n<p>This past weekend, I got her a new outfit for Spring &#8211; a pair of pedal pushers (pants coming just past the knee) and a short-sleeved shirt.  I got the biggest size you can usually get in children&#8217;s sizes &#8211; size 14.  She just tried the outfit on, and the pants are too snug.  The shirt, she can get by in, but the pants, no way.<\/p>\n<p>At age 10, my daughter has moved up to &#8220;Misses&#8221; sizes.  I calculate she&#8217;ll be about a size 2.  I think.  I&#8217;m not that clear on how one figures these things out.<\/p>\n<p>I am so not ready for her to be shopping in the grownups&#8217; sections.  More to the point, I&#8217;m not ready for her to grow up.
