ana81's Journal

Alexis loves to take down her baby photo album and look through the pictures, and hear stories of when she was a baby. Last night we were going through it, yet again, and it hit me, she is 4. She will be going to school this august. SCHOOL!! When did this happen, when did she become this little person and not a baby? I still look at her and see this baby in the album, but somehow, through each day she reminds me she has her own thoughts, feeling, and way of doing things. She just keeps growing and thriving, but sometimes, I just miss holding the little baby in my arms. I miss being able to dress her without her having an opinion about what she is going to wear. I miss feeding her! But at the same time I am so pround of the little girl she is. She is so loving and kind to everyone. She loves to help me around the house and play outside.  She strikes up conversation with everyone she can. Lately shes been starting her random conversations with strangers and aquaintences by saying, "so, how was your Christmas?". It is so cute. I know its part of life, your children getting older, and I have been told to hold on to all the precious moments. *sigh* but I just wish I they would last just a little longer. Sometimes its scary just to blink for fear of missing something. I wish there was a way to make time go slower, so I could enjoy it longer. But in all I have to say I am a very happy mommy. A mommy who couldn't have asked for a better daughter. Well, I guess I should go register her at the school now, and then get ready to take her to library. Its just one of those mornings where everything hits you at once and you realize just how fast life flies by.
