You were little and cute, and floppy. It was nice that you snuggled until 4 months.
Wait a minute, what happened, you turned 1. You are still way cute. You just hang out, and you're easy going. You can entertain your self with anything
Wait, when did you turn 2? How did that happen, I didn't even see it. Walking, and pulling things out of drawers, and off of anything you can reach.
Stop, stop right now, you cannot turn 3. You cannot got to school, you cannot grow up.
Now I demand that you put this getting bigger growing up business behind you. I need you to stay little, so I can always hold your hand, and you can always be home with me.
The YW secretary told a story on Sunday about her daughter buying a present for a class mate that every one made fun of. She bought her a Hanna Montana something or other, and I said, I didn't think 14 year olds were still into HM. She then told me that this little girl had down Syndrome, and I cried. 1st because that was an amazing thing to do, and I was so proud of her for trying to make this little girl happy. 2nd becasue when I heard about other kids being mean to her, it made me mad, then I realized, I wasn't mad, My feelings were hurt. Can I just keep her home, Can I just MAKE people be nice to her? I know those options are not possible. All I can do is pray that my daughter will have young women feel the desire to be kind, and to lift others.

She's so pretty.
My feelings exactly. Why does the world have to be cruel?
Your daughter is beautiful. And, yes, I wish they'd stay little and want to cuddle forever.
Sigh. I just blogged about this two days ago in tears. The future seems scary to me at times. I'm so glad God is in control and not me. Because I'd hide in my house and not let anyone in that I didn't trust.
