The FRONT tooth. OMG. Big teeth. I’m not ready. I soooo feel your pain.

We’re still having a hard time adjusting, but I’m hoping next week we’ll get into the groove.

This is tough stuff.

Motherhood is not for sissies.

And letting go is not for the selfish of heart.

No matter how ready you think are, you just aren’t.

Sending a little hug your way.

That’s exactly what I’m thinking when I see my child being independent. It started innocently, like getting water or brushing her teeth on her own. And then it escalated to not wanting to give me a kiss when I want to or not wanting tp hold my hand while walking around the mall. =(

I’m just saying, GET READY. It feels like someone is squeezing your heart with two hands and all their might.

Oh, I can’t believe it is hitting me so hard. I just didn’t expect to feel so tender-hearted about the whole thing.

Thank you! Yesterday, I had to go hide from her because I kept bursting into tears at the thought of her being gone for so many hours a day. I’ll be fine, I’m just having a harder time adjusting than I anticipated.

Then you get to start all over with your grans and THEIR “just like that” moments.

Oh, I KNOW it sounds like I’m rushing things – – – but just wait 5 minutes and you’ll see I’m not.

This is just the start of the future events to come – which is a good thing, different but equally (and many times more) awesome.
