I had a moment in front of my kids this morning that was really sad. I'm having to take my baby's crib apart (she's almost 3) because we bought her a big girl bed, and I'm in the garage looking for the crib box. well I also had pandora playing throughout the house, right? so I'm digging through stuff, and I'm coming across all this stuff that to me all of the sudden seems like failures: ping pong table that we never play, antique table that we never use, etc. and this sad Norah Jones song comes on and I lose it. so here I am bawling, and i found the crib box and I realize that my baby isn't a baby anymore. more tears, more bawling. my kids are all standing at the garage door asking me if I'm ok, and why I'm crying. I just told them I'm having lots of emotions, and that I'll be ok. I could have sat there for hours, but I pulled myself together and got the box ready. It felt good to get a cry out. also, does anyone need a used crib? |

yeah, I put Sophia in a big girl bad to make room for Baby #2 to have a crib when she comes this summer. That was a tearful night for mommy. She, of course, loves her new bed and doesn't care at all. As usual, my child proves to be stronger and more flexible than myself. That's a good thing, right?
ReplyDeleteThese transitional changes that our children go through typically will cause those waves of emotions. I thought I was going to loose it when I took Xavier to his first day of kindergarten! It is okay for your kids to see you expressing emotions, we all need a good cry sometimes!
ReplyDeletePenny reminds me every day, when I tell her she's my baby, that she is a "kid", and not a baby. How can that be, when I so clearly remember the terrible wonderfulness of her first days and weeks on this earth?!?
