As I saw people on instagram and facebook put up photos of their babies going to school yesterday, I about bawled my eyes out.
The thought of sending my little baby girl off to school in a short 3 years terrifies me.
The worst part is that these last 2 years with her have flown by so so quickly that I know that it'll be me posting Phoebe's first day of school photos before I know it.
It makes me want to shout at the heavens, fists clenched, that somehow time needs to be slowed way the heck down so my kiddo be a toddler for a lot longer than reality will let her.
The good thing about seeing these photos though is it gave me a real wake up call.
Instead of getting frustrated when Phoebe threw a fit or wouldn't leave me alone for two seconds so could finish sewing her birthday shirt, I smiled at her, picked her up and went to play with my sweet little girl who just wants to be with me.
I know she's growing up and I have to realize that one day soon she'll want to hang out with her friends and won't be throwing toddler fits and wanting me to come sit on her floor and read a book to her.
It all just makes me want to hold her close and relish in her sweet toddler self because I love my kid and I'll be missing her way too soon.
