What a great post. I am heading over to read you other guest post but I want to say thank you.

I was a little cranky with Gabby today. She’s 5 and at camp. She’s getting so big that I’m holding on to her too tight. She’s starting to resent it and is getting cranky back with me. Which I don’t like and I tell her. Poor thing she’s just growing up. I need to redefine what it is to be her mom and then learn how to help her but also let her make some of her own decisions.

Ok off to go read- I only have 5 more minutes until my next patient comes in :)

Let me wipe my tears away…beautiful. Right now, my little one if playing. By herself. In her room. I can hear her. You’d think she had a room full of playmates up there. She needs this time to herself, to grow, to learn, to just play. It makes me just a little bit sad that she really doesn’t need me as much though.

First of all- Great Post. Great.
Second- Total guilt trip for everytime I’ve told my son that he could not bring ANOTHER rock into the car, or to stop brining acorns into the house. Thanks for that. Just what I needed right before I head off to bed. ; )

I know what you mean! I blogged about the same thing today. Kids grow up right before our eyes and one day, we actually realize it. ang

Aw that is lovely…
The new worries and concerns that come home from school with my leave me feeling so helpless..knowing he is out there and having to figure it out for himself…but then I feel my job is to make sure he always knows I am there to talk about it and just for hugs.

This is beautiful! It’s amazing isn’t it? These little people of ours.. I think all too often we forget that they are utterly their own, with their own ideas, own purpose, own motivation. We can guide them, but goodness it’s all them!
