I just realized

Tomorrow is probably Lil Miss' last day at my house. It makes my tummy flop to think that she probably won't be coming back again. See, she is going to be a big sister too- and as much as I want to be super mom, 2 toddlers and 2 infants, 1 which I would have to bottle feed, is probably too much for me to handle.

She came to me after being attacked by another kid at her old daycare. I will never forget the first day I met her. Her bitty face was all bruised from where the little boy had bitten her. She was tiny and shy, barely 2 years old. She sang me the alphabet and I fell for her. She has grow up so much since she first came to stay with me. She used to be a scared little girl- if I went to a room in the house that she wasn't familiar with, she would cry. It was almost impossible for her to interact with anyone she didn't know, and she would cry the first 5 minutes we were anywhere. That overly timid toddler has blossomed into a little girl. She now loves to go places and explore, and loves to talk to new people. I hope I had a little part in that.

She and Cookies are like sisters (they fight like sisters too)- and I only hope that my lil one's heart doesn't break when she realizes her playmate is being replaced by a little brother. Soon enough he will be old enough to play too, but it won't be the same.

So come on out Bubbles... My sister is coming into town and I want you to meet her before she leaves (I am SO scared you won't come out before she leaves). Otherwise you won't get to meet your dorky aunt #3 until you are 6 months old. She really is cool, and after tomorrow, you don't need to wait anymore. Daddy will be off work for a week, dorky aunt #3 will be here, we will have finished our week with Lil Miss, and you would be the best Christmas present that any of us could imagine. All of your Aunts, virtual or no want to meet you. I want to meet you. We all want to meet you. Finish cooking my love. Stop teasing mommy with all of these contractions.
