My child won't be the stinky kid just for wearing the same jammies 2...ok, maybe 3 nights in a row...
My child will not go to high school with a pacifier...
My child's college roommates will not have to hold her down to get her to brush her teeth...
My child will not eat with her fingers at her wedding reception...
Clearly you can tell what some of my irrational mom fears are :o) I am really trying to just enjoy this fun stage Ashlyn is in because I know it will pass us by too quickly. I listen to her talking in toddler sentences... telling me what she likes and doesn't like... insisting on wearing what she wants to wear when she wants to wear it and I realize I already have a mini-teenager... I started singing a song I didn't think she had ever heard and she started doing the motions and singing along... I am no longer the one that gives her all her information about the world... She is taking it all in everywhere she is... her teachers at school teach her new songs that are now her favorite. I didn't realize I would already be letting go little pieces of my baby so soon. She just cried and screamed to go with my sister back to the city with no mommy... She is already such a big independent girl!
At least at night as she sleeps she is still my little baby...
Even if she is a little stinky...
Love this!

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you found my blog. Thanks for the comment. I'm enjoying reading yours too...My daughter will wear the same dress 7 days in a row if I let her. Usually I draw the line at 3 days, or whenever it starts to smell. :) -Gina
