moments

this will be a quick post
i just want to take a moment and be sad that my baby is growing up

that she no longer needs a bottle
or a diaper change

remembering how she needed me a little more yesterday
and that she doesn't need me as much today

and tomorrow she may climb into bed all by herself
read herself a book
pray a goodnight prayer
all by herself

but tonight i will put her to bed
tuck her in
pray for her
and enjoy my moments with her even more

cause she's my baby

I know how you feel. It makes me a little sad too. I remember when Elisabeth was having Jonah and I cried, because my baby was having a baby. Love you, MOM

You reminded me of the time I looked out the back window and saw Jayden take one of the little Flintstone power push cars from under the patio and try to get inside. He probably had fond memories of past years. He opened the door and tried to get in. After some contortion he succeeded, but then found he didn't have enough room to maneuver to make it go. Realization of the moment hit him. He was getting bigger. I enjoy watching them grow up. Loved his baseball card pix.
