Mommie's Big Girl!

Its comes a point when your baby doesn't need you for everything anymore. We are getting to that point and though I am so proud, I get a little sad. Dreux is becoming more and more independent and I encourage it wholeheartedly. This morning she went to school with mix-matched socks on, only because she insisted on putting them on her self. I'm not the type of mom who gets hung up on stuff like that. Now that I think about it I really think she only has on one sock over her tights....😳When she goes potty, she WANTS to pull down "her panties" her self. Before heading out in the morning, she WANTS to zip up her coat her self. Her favorite phrase these days is "Mommie, I want to do it". So Mommie let's her do it. Granted it slows us down in the morning and Mommie misses her train more often than not- but I never want to deter her from doing things on her own. It's a feeling of accomplishment! 

This morning as I dropped her off she saw her favorite teacher and ran to her, arms wide open! She pooched those cute little lips up at me, gave me a kiss and said "I love you Mommie". Before I knew it she was in the class room. Guess my baby doesn't need Mommie to walk her in anymore. I felt a slight tear coming but it was followed with a smile.

It's a great sign! One, I know her teachers are taking great care of her and two, my baby is growing up. My baby will be 2 in exactly two weeks! Where has the time gone? 
Well time for the second.........SIKE! lol
