Fairly Odd Mother

Frantically waving my magic wand to make wishes come true.

Sunday, September 13, 2009

All growed up

The crib is long gone. As is the changing table.

You couldn't find a diaper in this house if you tried. Pull-up either.

We don't have a proper sippy cup in our cupboards. The little forks and spoons have been passed on to someone else.

I go to bed without any little bodies in there with me (although I do still usually wake up with one). There are no quiet sounds of a baby or toddler nursing in the dark of night.

It's official: I'm no longer the mom to a baby, or even a toddler. My youngest is five today. Wow.

Happy Birthday D. Number three made our family complete.
