Its official

Playing in the sandpit before school

Today is Beans first day at playschool.
It is 09.54am and my little house is quiet. I am blogging at a time I would normally be doing something with her. (Unless, of course, it was nap time).

I'm wondering what shes up to and if she is enjoying herself and if she will eat her lunch or tell someone she needs to use the potty.

I am feeling mixed, I am so proud that she is growing up into an independent little girl and proud that she is at her first day of school, after having moved into a big bed and initiating her potty training without any assistance from me. I am so proud of her. But, I feel a little heart sore too. She is no longer my little baby. Those days are behind us now.

The journey has altered its course and we are into little girl territory. I have a small ache in my heart for the time that has passed and will never get back. It is all new moments and new milestones from here on in.


Its official, My baby is no longer a baby!

Oh my darling i know the feeling. Oh too well.

I cannot believe little Bean, who I watched make her way into this world, and cuddled with on her first night, has started at creche. my little niece. a big girl now.

After we spoke this morning i shed a tear or two. How is it that i feel like she resides in my heart, along with my two?

Am so proud of you. Words are not enough.
