I've been saddened and happy that my daughter is turning four. The last couple of months I've really thought hard about what it means that my girl is still 3, but will not be for long. Each day for a while now I've tried to be sure to concentrate on how she is 3 and only 3 and stay away from the dreadful "she's almost 4". Yes, believe me I know it's a wonderful thing that she's ALIVE and HEALTHY and I thank God every day for that... but in less than 12 hours my baby, my toddler leaves 3 and enters F.O.U.R. Wow, where did the time go. They say it's fast, who says... everyone that has lived it and you say "yeah I know" without really internalizing....but believe me when you live it, you can't help but be reminded of just how time flies and how precious every moment really is and how we get caught up, me being one of the worst in the every day life we live!
Now, I'm just wishing I could be doing every second over again. I type this as her little 3 year old body lies in my bed sleeping and wanting and hoping I'm on my way soon to crawl in beside her. On most nights I make her move to her own bed... BUT NOT TONIGHT!
I'm shutting the door on four tomorrow until after she has OFFICIALLY turned that young Pre-school age and leaves the Toddler world.
Thank you God in Jesus name for my precious baby girl. Patience is truly a virtue.
