Oh no! My Baby's Growing Up!



Last night, Anna Claire announced, "I don't have paci anymore. I don't need it."

Then this afternoon at nap, "I don't hear Seahorse sing. Be quiet, Seahorse."  ("Seahorse" is Anna Claire's musical Fisher Price Seahorse that glows and plays a rotation of 10 lullabies. She's had him and I have played him for her since she was just a few weeks old.)

I should be jumping for joy over these milestones, and BELIEVE ME, I am extremely grateful for it. How awesome that it is HER CHOICE to give up her pacifier? Really??

But my mind and heart immediately thought, "NO! I'm not ready yet! You're still my baby!" I just lay beside her in tears and watched her fall asleep beside me in my bed.
