This is Fran a year ago, she had it on her phone. She’d just had her operation and got back home. Still a little girl then.
She asked me to take this the other day, so she could send it in to CBBC. The two photos popped into circulation on the same day quite by chance and really made me catch my breath.
She grew up while I didn’t realise I wasn’t looking.
I remember feeling that way when Abi turned 13. It really made me catch my breath and wonder where all the time had gone.
Golly she has grown up hasn’t she! Looks so much like you now!
People keep saying this about my children lately; I’m not sure if this is a good thing – their daddy is much prettier than me!
I think around 13 girls do suddenly look very grown up. And I often wonder where time has gone.
Aww, she’s a lovely girl. My eldest is 14 and it shocks me every time I look at her and she’s no longer the chubby toddlerI expect.x
One day you’re holding their hands and puddle-jumping, the next thing you know they have hips and everything!!!!
