The eating machine

My eleven-year-old daughter Martha is eating everything in sight these days. She's already within an inch of being as tall as me (which isn't saying much, but still!), and at supper tonight she ate a full plate of pork, carrots and cucumber slices and THEN proceeded to consume two PB&J sandwiches. TWO!

Good grief.

Notice in the picture below, how at eleven years of age, she has already begun to master the "teenage girl stance."



I can't believe she's about to start middle school in a few days. Where did my chubby-cheeked fussbudget go? Oh, wait... she's still here. Just bigger and fussier. Hey, at least she's potty-trained.

UPDATE: SirKevin says this pose is really the perfect pre-teen 'tude stance...
