Holding On

It has  been three days since my princess has been using the potty. 

It happened organically.

I ran out of diapers 

I had Minnie Mouse  panties in her drawer.

since last Christmas...

She has been ready for months.

I have used a million excuses 

of why I hadn't "trained" her yet.

There was only one real reason

I have been holding on to my baby girl. 

I knew once we were out of diapers, 

that meant big girl bed and all that translates 

is she has very little baby left. 

After days of secretly crying 

while she napped

I decided to take my baby girl out

to the Pumpkin Patch

where all she did was prove to me 

just how much of a big girl she is becoming

keeping Vernon safe on the Train ride

(she never even wants to touch him)

 wanting to get  her face painted

for the first time by a stranger

you  know my girl and her shyness

at least I can count on her to not look at the camera 

for awhile...

I hope

 She loved  her face paint

she asked to take a nap with it on

as long as you stay my baby forever I told her

and as she hugged my neck

she said okay momma.

cue my hot tears here

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, I will be filling buckets with tears as I transform her room into a "Big Girl" room.
