Maddie's a Teacup.

Maddie is 7. She has always been small for her age, or like I like to call it -- Petite. It has been a subject of constant worry for me. People are always asking me:

"Is she on vitamins?"

"Does she drink enough milk?"

"Don't you think you should force her to eat green veggies?"

The truth of the matter is, the child is just small... and I guess today it's come up to the forefront again of conversation. At her well check up today, the doctor noted her growth (or lack thereof) on her chart, and ordered her a bone age scan. We go to the hospital tomorrow to get it done. I know in my heart that she is just tiny, she is just a little delicate thing, with a lot of spunk. But my brain likes to run wild with stories and thoughts of kidney disease and everything else under the sun. So if you have a few minutes today, say a prayer for my little teacup.
