Yes, its true. This morning i choked up in front of 9 kids and 10 adults. A little embarrassing.
Last week was our first day at our library book group, for toddlers. It didn't go so well. L was up roaming around, not listening, being loud, and embarrassing. We had to leave the room. This week i didn't even want to go, but decide i should just deal with it. We went and it was the complete opposite. She sat with me while we sang songs, read stories, & played games as a group. Each kid got a snow man with their name on it. When their name is called they go up and stick their snow man on the board.
Two kids went before her. Then her name was called "Leah!". She jumped up, didn't even look back at me, and went to stick her snow man up. Then she came back and sat down. A huge smile was glued on my face as my eyes filled up. I embarrassed myself!
There she was. My little girl! When did this happen? How did this happen?
Its like it was only yesterday that she rolled over for the first time. Now she's this big girl, walking up on her own, not needing me. Not shy!
Really? We're at that point already? The independent stage. The part where mommy cries herself to sleep.
This is a *huge* milestone for us. One i didn't see coming. One that caught me by surprise, teary eyed at the library.
She's growing up.
