Oh what the heck. No more holding back the floodgates.
...
Okay. The tears were worth it. I went back and looked at a special video I put together with some very special moments and photos. I realize how precious a gift that time truly is. I mean, the gifts we have...Wow, what a treasure.
As I rocked sweet little K tonight and put her in her toddler bed, it really felt surreal. Surreal because I know that in a few more years, I'm going to be looking back at this night and the first time I put her in the toddler bed. I know this because when I walked out of her room this evening, I remembered the very first night I put Kendall in her crib. The feelings were a little different.
Kendall's first look at her new bed!
On June 18, 2008, I put her in her crib and staggered to my bed and quickly succumbed to a "long" nap of 1-hour (until she was hungry again). Tonight, July 10, 2010, I slowly walked out almost wishing she would sit up and say "Mommy ... one more hug and kiss...". But as I glanced back, she was snuggled in her new bed and I wished only good dreams for her and a lifetime of wonderful moments for all of us.
I pray all our wishes come true. Yours too.
My Heart-2-Heart for you tonight: If you have your own floodgates to let loose, embrace it. It's probably going to be worth it.
Loved seeing her tonight.....wow has she ever grown quickly.............
