She is now 10 years old.
She loves crocheting, knitting, reading, sewing, aqua and lime green, the Jonas Brothers, Tinkerbell, Jars of Clay, and occasionally still sleeping in her mama's bed.
Needless to say, this mommy's heart is not too happy about her growing old.
Of course I am happy to see my children growing and developing into the people they are meant to be, but the mommy in me wants them to be my babies forever.
I came across a blog post (with a photo) that I wrote
Oh my heart.
You can read it here.
This is what today looked like:
*image removed*
My big girl blowing out the candles on a cake she made herself. *sniff*
*image removed*
This is Lainie (complete with chocolate cake on her clothes lol), Caleb (my 13 year old), and Jaden (4 years old) playing with birthday balloons.
These years are so fleeting.
Tomorrow they will be grown and living their own lives.
They will have jobs and families and responsibilities.
So for today, play, my babies.
Play with balloons.
Eat lots of cake.
Sing the songs you love.
Laugh.
Tease.
Joke.
Be children.
And please, please, grow up slowly.
