This morning Abby went down the road to a friend's house to play. I walked her down to their house and on my walk back I couldn't help but have a heavy heart. She seems so grown up these days, no more crying for me when I leave her in the nursery at church and not one tear today when I said good bye. She smiled and walked into Lauren's bedroom saying "bye bye Mommy." I know these are sure signs of good development and growth but also the realization that my baby is growing up. She seems very self assured and confident at her ripe little age of 2 1/2 and one of my biggest prayers is that she always stays this way. She was very happy to see me when I picked her up but not nearly as happy as I was to see her.
I love this sweater on her, Robert's mother's college roommate Lynn knitted this for Abigail when she was born and we treasure it. I will be sad when the day comes that she outgrows it but one day perhaps we will have another child and if it's a girl she can wear it. I've also thought about preserving it in the way of framing it.
Have a great one!
