May 12, 2008 ~ Time Goes Fast ~

My baby...excuse me...big girl, graduated kindergarten last Friday. I can't even believe it. It seems like just yesterday I was holding her, feeding her a bottle and thinking "I can't wait to hear her voice and see her when she's a toddler". Now I choak on those words because she is even past the toddler stage. I can hardly carry her anymore. I asked her the other day if, even when she's grown up, is she still gonna sit in my lap. She laughed and told me 'no'. Even though I argued with her about it and told her that yes, no matter how big she is, she will always be my baby and will always sit in my lap, the reality of it is just the oposite. One day soon she will be grown and out of the house. I'll not have a baby to hold or rock kiss goodnight. As we pass this milestone in her life, I have to remind myself to slow down and enjoy the nights she actually wants to sleep with me. And enjoy the days I can't even go to the bathroom alone because she is following me around. These are the days of our lives and they go by way too fast.
