not so much a baby anymore

Isabelle woke up yesterday morning and literally stopped me in my tracks (odd phrase). I just stared at her and said, "Isabelle, you're so tall!" "I know, mom." "and...and so so beautiful. you're so old now!" "yeah, I know I am. I'm 4" I was just amazed at how overnight my baby girl has become a little girl. Not even a toddler, an actual girl. I tried explaining this to Keith. I said, "she looks like a little girl now!" he said, "well, she is, I mean..." I said, "no, no, I mean, like, she looks older. Not like a baby or a toddler, she's growing and becoming a little girl." he still didn't get it. But I just couldn't stop watching her as she sat on the couch, then ate her breakfast.

My babies are slowly (or quickly) becoming not babies anymore. I don't know that I like that. Now anytime Keith says he can't wait till they're all in school or grown up, he will get slapped!

finished this book. wonderful book and I'd recommend everyone read it.

hmmm....

we're kid free. completely, 100% kid free for the entire night. This happens so rarely that I forget what it feels like. And to be honest, it isn't like, WOOHOO!! NO KIDS ALL NIGHT! it's more like, let's go, let's leave the house and get busy right now before I miss the kids to the point that I have to go get them, and then ruin THEIR night out!! They probably wouldn't like it too much if I showed up at the door and said, "come on, time to go home, let's go..mama can't sleep without having y'all piled on top of me! come on!" they'd be pretty upset, I imagine. But boy do I miss my babies when they're gone!
