....the passing of an era...

Since the first night of Gwen sleeping in her own room, she always wakes us up in the morning by calling out,"Anyone want some snuggles?!" To which we always reply Yes! Pick me, pick me! And she will come in and we have a nice cuddly time laughing and talking before we start our day. This morning it didn't happen! We heard her awake in her room, playing with something. I called out to her "Whatcha doin?" She says playing with some pet shops... Wade then says "Anyone want some snuggles?" And she says "Not right now, Dad. I'm busy". !!!! So I ask the same question and she replies by telling us not to be sad and that we get what we get and we don't throw a fit. Hmmm... my baby is finding other interests in her life. She is growing up too fast. How do I slow this train down!? Wade has gone into her room and has joined her playing petshops and watching Hotel For Dogs... I think I'll go join them. Hey... what's the saying about if Mohammad won't go to the mountain... then the mountain will go to Mohammad.

I know we'll be sad someday when Bran and Nuala don't come in and try to get us out of bed at 0600 every morning... but right now I could just use a little more sleep.

I've heard that cigarettes could stunt her growth.

awwww, sad! Necessary, I guess, eventually, but still sad!

Alas, there is no way to slow it down. Enjoy every minute (which I know you do) and know that while things do change, it just keeps getting better. Wait till you have grandchildren! There aren't words to describe it.

I remember the first time Logan (who is almost 11) told me "not right now" when I asked for a hug. Now it is "MOM! Please don't call me honey in front of my friends". Kids are great, but time flies so fast. I want to put time in a jar and put it on my shelf.
