I prepared myself for this day, I truly did. But I never expected it to actually happen. Or maybe I just never expected it to affect me how it has. Leah's not a baby anymore, and, truth be told, that saddens me just a bit.
Instead of my sweet baby girl, there's a sweet toddler in our home. A little girl who loves hiding behind the curtains or being chased around the house (FYI: the Poang chair in the family room is base, as is the toy kitchen refrigerator in the office). A little girl who delights in digging in the dirt or collecting sticks (supposedly so that she can help her daddy build a fire in the fireplace come colder weather). A little girl who loves dancing or cuddling up with a book (hmmm, wonder whom she gets that from?). A little girl who knows that snacktime means pulling her chair up to the rug to watch Blue's Clues or The Wiggles while munching on a cheese stick or Goldfish.
When did this happen? Others warned me it would happen in the blink of an eye... but it happened much faster than that.
