Change


It's been a rough week for this blue eyed beauty.  For the first 2 years and 22 months of her life, she has spent every day with her dad.  No doubt about it, she's a daddy's girl, through and through.  This week however, rather abruptly, her daddy has left her each morning to head off to work and left her in the care of her new "sitter".

It's such an in-between time for her.  She cries for her daddy not to leave her in the morning, then cries for Jess not to leave her when I come home.  She's on the verge of being a "big girl", independent in so many ways, still dependent in others.

There are some things that still linger from her babyhood, things she can't do without.  Like the thumb
 and her precious Green.
But there are new "grown up" must haves as well, like her "hooker pumps" (my term)
 that she wears EVERYWHERE, and her sassy skirt
that apparently matches every shirt she owns. And sister doesn't travel without one of her many purses.


She'll be 3 in less than 2 months, only wears diapers at night, can maker her own cereal and get her own glasses of juice.  She can scale fences, is tougher than her brothers, and the girl is fearless.  I'm not so ready for her to be big, but there's no stopping this Diva.
