I remember when the bounce house was the scariest, riskiest thing they would do, now they're begging for me to let them walk to the store alone. I'm so not ready to let go. Where have the years gone.

I'm having a hard enough time watching my baby fall and bonk her forehead on the ottoman as she tries to pull up to stand. Being a mom rips your heart right out of you, hey?

Maybe your best. [On another note, I like the new design. I thought about WordPress for a brief moment, but for some reason decided to stick with Blogger. I could always change my mind tomorrow, though.] This was a really sweet post! Maybe your best.

Now I know that I am not alone in crying myself to sleep or being fearful of letting my child play in the bounce house. Thankfully J doesn't actually like the bounce house, but he starts JK this fall and I wonder who will cuddle him if he trips and falls and scrapes his knees. I know I can't be with him every minute of every day for the rest of his life, but I would sure like to be. Thank you.
