HELP!!!!!!!

Please please take a look at photo that I just put up and let me know your thoughts.
Today I read a book at my 4 year olds class and one of her classmates told me I look like a Grandma:(
I am turning 46 in November and I always thought I looked young for my age!!  I am still ttc, but that comment doesn't help me feel very positive...booooooooooo
Thanks,
Lisa

I remember when I was a little kid, my friend and I thought we wouldn't get to see the year 2000 because we'd be long dead & gone!  Actually, now that I think about it, we thought that I MIGHT be around for it because my birthday was in January but hers was the September prior.  From a kid's perspective, anyone who's not a kid is old.

The photo is beautiful!  You and your daughter are both beautiful.
I'm 44 with a 2 year old, and have thought more than once about how my age.  You look great.   I feel a little better having reconnected with high school friends on facebook. Some were literally grandparents at 34.  
We're blessed!

You don't look like a grandma.  Don't take it to heart, anyone over 30 looks like a grandma to kids.  To them, we were around when the dinosaurs lived.  I know how you feel though, I was at a fast food place with my son a year ago (when I was 40) and one of the young things that work there said, Oh, are you out with your grandson?  Augh!!  Just put it out of your thoughts and keep trying!  SSBD!

LOL, Lisa, maybe that little kid has a grandma with short hair and glasses:)

Hey...little kids are always going to think we are ancient!  I remember being a teen and thinking 30 was really really old.
