As a child, how many times were you told: “You can’t do that. You’re too little.”? It probably angered you. It wasn’t your fault that you were little. Yet the restrictions the company of being labeled “little” sure felt like punishment, didn’t they?
Maybe you started pouting or crying or stomping your feet in anger. “It looks like someone is ready for bed,” you heard from across the room. And this only angered you worse.
Reasoned with a glancing thought, being “little” can be regarded as a bad thing. And there are plenty of examples to support such a claim:
- Height restrictions on amusement park rides.
- Age restrictions for movies.
- Not being allowed to have soda or candy.
- Early bed times on school nights.
And the one thing that made it all worse was having an older sibling or friends who were allowed to do the very same things that you weren’t.
There seemed to be nothing good about being “little”, but the whole time you were “little”, you had so much going for you and you weren’t able to appreciate it. (Probably because you were too “little”, right? LOL )
But stop for a moment and think of everything that was really great about being “little”:
Hugs from Everyone - You were so cute and adorable that no one could keep their hands off you.
Toys and More Toys - Every relative you had kept buying you more and more of them.
The Best Hiding Spots - You always won ‘hide-n-go-seek’ because you were small enough to hide anywhere.
Attention - You were constantly being talked about, and everyone made a fuss over you.
Clothing/Accessories - You dressed in clothing that was cute and fun. You didn’t have a dress code at work, or feel the need to dress in a fashion that would get the boys to look at you and talk to you and like you.
Playing - You were able to run around and be silly and just have fun. You didn’t care about how other viewed you. You were being “little” and what fun it was!!!
You always had someone to push you on the swings.
You always had someone to catch you at the bottom of the slide.
When your clothes got dirty from playing, you ran to Mom or Dad and they had another set ready for you.
You never had to do laundry, clean the house, wash the dishes, or buy food.
Bath time was really fun!! You had bubbles and toys and the tub was really big because you were “little”.
Your room was filled with Barbie® stuff, and Disney® Princess stuff, and stuffed animals and you had a nightlight that you adored.
Now take a moment to go back through that list and think of how many of those “good thing” you’ve tried to re-create or re-visit in your adult life? ……………………………………… There’s nothing wrong with it if you do try to re-create these things? It may mean you have an InnerChild or a BabyGirl within you that you want to become again.
As an AB Girl, you are capable of recapturing the good things about being “little”. You are always able to be an adult whenever you want, but you are also able to be an AB Girl whenever you want. Imagine how many times you would experience the good things of being “little” as an AB Girl:
Bath Time - The tub may look smaller, but you find yourself surrounded by bubbles and toys; able to get clean and have fun doing it with an adoring helping you along the way.
Nap Time - How often as an adult would you just like to take a nap and forget about everything? As a BabyGirl you could. Daddy would tend to the rest and you could sleep easy knowing that he was there to take care of all those other things that just have to get done somehow.
Clothing - You could dress comfortable without concern for impressing anyone. And your clothing would be fun and babyish and be a joy to dress in. From soft footed PJs to cute little onesies to just a t-shirt toa babydoll dress to a babydoll nightie - The Sky’s the Limit!
Accessories - If you’re an AB Girl you know the desire and need for things like a pacifier, a baby bottle, a sippy cup, a blanket, a stuffed animal, and any toy that your little heart desired.
High Chair - Can you remember being fed a meal while sitting in a chair that never let your feet touch the ground. And you won’t need to worry about having a little bit of food on your face. If you’re “little” enough it will be all over your face, your bib, your shirt, your arms, and your hands. And through every second of it, you got a contented grin on your face, don’t you?
PlayPen - When you are put in a playpen, you know that you are going to be watched. So, it’s an attention-getting location, isn’t it? And a playpen has everything you need - toys, teddy bears, a blanket. You’ll be able to entertain yourself quite well and if you get a bit sleepy, it’s perfect for an impromptu nap.
Diaper Change - Ah yes. The culmination of all things that make you feel “little”. What a feeling it is to find yourself being tended to like a baby who just wet her diaper. It’s caressing. It’s loving. It’s a feeling of total release of all things grown-up (no pun intended). It’s ultimate dependence and if nothing else will make you feel “little”, this will. You’ll not only feel “little”, but you’ll get those butterflies in your tummy that you only ever get when you feel ‘pampered’.
Nursery - Just like your childhood bedroom, your nursery will be wall-to-wall “little”, filled with everything you could possibly imagine and even everything you didn’t think of. But the best part of it is that it’s all there for you. It’s your own castle, your own “little” world, and nothing can steal away the feeling you get when …
Crib - … you are lying in your crib at night staring at the glow-in-the-dark stars that your daddy has put in the ceiling. They spell out your name. You gaze over at the nightlight that illuminates your room. Your closet is full of every bit of babygirl-ish clothing you could imagine. Your changing table sits next to your crib, loaded with every supply to keep you dry and happy. There’s a toy bin that’s loaded so full the lid hardly closes. And then there’s the rocking chair that Daddy holds you in when you reads a bedtime story to you or when you just need to be held by him. You turn over and tuck your Winnie the Pooh under your arm, and after a few more delicate “nibbles” on your pacifier, you fall asleep.
Behavior - You’re able to be as silly as you want, and fun-loving as you can stand, and as “little” as you are able to be, and all of it is exactly what your Daddy has come to expect and loves to see. You feel comfortable enough to relax and just “let loose”.
Being held - This is a major one. It’s a precious bonding moment between a Daddy and an AB Girl. It’s the physical touch that leads to the bond, the spirit and the nurture.
Being loved - Who wouldn’t love a wide-eyed, eager-to-be-held girl like you. You’re able to live out your childhood and infancy again because you have been given everything you had back then. The material things are just part of it. The lasting gift is a Daddy who loves you. But don’t thank him for it. He’s not looking for praise. Just enjoy your life as a BabyGirl.
Feeling “Little” - So how can it really be summarized. Being taken care of, by a Daddy, as if you were a baby. Never worrying about anything but what makes you happy and who makes you happy. Feeling that unconditional love for someone without having to live up to any standard that you don’t want to.
Maybe some of those examples don’t apply to you. Maybe you’re not into baby furniture or baby outfits or whatever, but there’s bound to be something on that list that you adore. Right?
So in the end, the big thought may very well be this:
There is an Upside to Being “Little”.
