that this day would have to come sooner or later, and it finally arrived. This was the first time that Abigail got to stay up to watch a movie with mom and dad, and Syd had to go to bed. They have done basically everything together since Syd was born, same bed times, same movies, same computer games and tv time. But we all know that eventually there is a shift in the dynamic and suddenly Abbi is big enough to do things that Syd just isn't ready for. Tonight we got to watch the Sorcerers Apprentice (good movie by the way). We started it a little late and Syd wasn't really interested anyway(good thing cuz she wasn't going to get to watch it anyway) so she was downstairs reading. But at bedtime when I went to turn off her light and kiss her goodnight she was a little miffed that Abbi wasn't down there with her (They have always shared a room). Well, there were a few tears but she came through it all right.
But Mommy...not so much. This feels a little like the begining of the end. My baby girl is growing up, and with that comes all sorts of things that I would rather not think about. (boys, dating, cars, trying to look mature and spending hours on the phone, the phrase "Id rather be texting) All these things and more are enough to keep me up at night, and prompt jeff to buy a lock for her door and a big stick to keep those boys away.
But I guess thats just how it goes, little girls grow up, and young mommys turn into old mommys. (Not that I plan on letting that happen to me! :)
