My precious baby girl will no longer be a baby, but a toddler. I have very mixed feelings about this. For one, I am ECSTATIC about her birthday party. I have been planning it for months, and have gone to great lengths to make sure every detail is perfect. Nearly everyone I know has gotten an invitation to this wonderful event. And like most moms, I love watching her learn to do new things. I am amazed at what someone so small can actually do. I love that she is making good progress and catching up to all the other kids her age, who were born on time.
But I am so sad that she isn't an itsy-bitsy baby anymore. I am sad about what her party actually marks - the transition from baby to toddler. And I am sad that this year has gone by so fast. Other then the two months spend in the NICU I have been with her almost every second. I know that I will wonder where her childhood went and before I know it she will be an adult. To me, this is the saddest thing ever. It starts with her first birthday and one day it will be her 18th. **Sigh.
But toddler age is the super fun age! It will be loads of fun times :)
