"When I grow up into myself..." That was how Anna started a sentence today when she was talking to me. I have no idea what the rest of the sentence was about, because I was so fascinated with the language of the first part of the sentence.

Isn't that cool? She knows that there is something for her to grow up into ... herself. Not a princess or a superhero or a mommy even, but herself.

I think I'll start working in that direction, too. Instead of growing up into all these roles and to-do's that I carry around, I think I'll begin growing up into myself.
