Delicate Balance

It's coming.  No matter how hard I try to dig in my heels and freeze her at two years old, her birthday just keeps getting closer and closer.

This week we said goodbye to a wonderful therapist, whom we will not be able to afford after The Princess turns three.  We told two others that we need to take a "vacation" until the All Kids kicks in.  We'll have another goodbye today - Friday.

We visited the pediatrician's office for her 3-year well child checkup/school physical.  She is 36.75 inches tall - that's over three feet!! - and 30.2 pounds.  That's officially big enough to graduate to her Big Girl Booster Seat when she turns three, but I'm thinkin' we'll keep her in the bigger model for a while yet.  Still, she could use it any time after Sunday.

I received a phone call on Wednesday from the transportation district, explaining the process to me and letting me know her pick-up time for school.

Through all of this, I smile, nod, and try so very hard to take everything in.  I don't want to miss a moment, but I don't want to be left in the dust, either.  Such a delicate balance.

  1. I keep thinking about this too; wondering how you're doing and what she is going to think about it all. As anxious as I feel about it, I'm sure it's nothing compared to how you guys are feeling. Please know that we're praying for her (and you guys) and we will be thinking of her BIG TIME on Monday. Love you's.

  2. Just flying by the seat of our pants, and hoping we don't miss anything too important. Thanks, doll. :)
