My baby is getting married
So today is my day to grieve, I guess. It really hit me this morning when we went through our morning routine of all gathering in the living room and taking turns on the couch getting snuggles from the 1 year that was lap hopping, and the oldest leaned in for a 3 way hug. And I acknowledged to myself, this season, and the longer one that led up to it were gone. And it hit me like a two ton truck. After tomorrow, the 21 year privilege of having had that beautiful little girl under my roof ends.
And to be honest, it is really about six months to a year overdue - She's an adult and we've had all the fun strains of the push/pull having an adult that wants to be treated like an adult, but also all the privileges of being a child. It's time.
But man, what a reality altering gut punch to come to terms with your baby bird leaving the nest.
Time goes by so fast - We've been watching the baby, knowing how fleeting those baby years are, and her first birthday seems like it snook up on us.
If your little birdies are still home, skip the normal evening diversions and just weird them out and love on them.

All of them. He's got both systems so he can play Xbone with me. He favors shooters and action games but he's into a bunch of indie stuff too.. Right now him and my daughter share joint custody of their switch and they are both enjoying some Zelda thingy.

Yep, mine's 3.5, and everytime she bothers me playing a game or painting minis, I keep reminding myself that the majority of her life will be spent without me.

I don't see anything else ever coming close to this until Barnesy faces reality and announces that he's registered for a robust regiment of writing classes.

I raised a manic pixie dream girl. This pic is so her.
Btw. Her fella's last name and is Taylor. Yup. Taylor Taylor.

Aaaahh.....(upon realizing that was Mr. Booth and not the aforementioned groom)
