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!

  1. Good post! I never wanted any of you to grow up and be gone, the really important thing I learned as a grandparent is not to rush them They can be 5 or 8 as long as they want to!
