Thank you for coming into our life. We love you so much. And its a joy to orbit your world everyday. Because that's what its like living with a toddler - you orbit them, and they are a bright, bright sun.
Today my baby turned 3 years old. Any day now she'll be potty trained and sleeping in a big girl bed.* We have so much to look forward to. Kindergarten. Reading. Sports and extra-curricculars. Middle school. Driving. Young love. Proms. Graduation. College. Real, everlasting love (hopefully in that order). Her whole life is ahead of her.
But why does it make me sad that she's getting older? I should be looking forward to those things, right? All I can think of is that ABBA song "slipping through my fingers". It makes me tear up just thinking about it. And she's only three.
So I need to get a grip. What would my sisters say? Hang on tightly? Or let them be themselves and enjoy your relationship with them? Sigh.
Then and Now.
Love, Colleen
