Growing So Fast
Dear BabyGirl,
You lost your first tooth today on July 4, 2010 and upon realizing that you did, I burst into tears. They were not tears of joy as I told you in the hopes of stopping your tears of fear. In fact, while I hugged you and told you that everything would be OK, what I was thinking was that things would never be the same. And my heart aches.
Th loss of the first tooth will be followed by so many other firsts that I don’t want to think about. Each first takes you closer to adulthood and further away from the baby I see when I look at you.
I don’t mind you growing up, despite how it may seem. It’s just that you have grown so much in the last week. You can write all the letters of the alphabet. You can reach things off of Daddy’s dresser with very little strain. You want to pick out all of your own clothes. And now your tooth…
And you are only four. I love you! Please stop growing so fast. I’m not ready.

Thanks Yakini. She isn’t a baby anymore and it’s killing me! Thanks for commenting and I hope you are well.
