My little girl is growing up. I know I say this all the time but it's true. With every passing day, she gains a little more confidence and a little more independence from me. It's not a bad thing they say and I know that but it saddnes me a little that she is growing up so quickly and so soon.
Here is is wanting to sit by herself away from me. I asked her if she wanted to sit next to me to enjoy the band that was playing music and she flat out said "No mummy, Tiger sit alone there". I was shocked. She rarely ventures out on her in public but saying that, I am proud of her that she is a little brave to be on her own.
She likes to do things on by herself as well. After a meal, she clears her own plates and ask if she could wash her hands in the bathroom sink (I knew daycare was good for something). She also wants to put her own dirty clothes in the hamper and her dirty nappy in the bin all on her own. She refuses to let me feed her anymore. *sigh*
You may be asking why am I sighing. I am not sure really. Maybe it's because I am scared that she no longer need me in her daily life anymore. Maybe it's because I have the need to be needed by someone all the time. I need to take care of something all the time and if my baby grows up, who am I suppose to take care of now?
The only thing I can do now is give her the independence she needs and tell her over and over again that I love her and she can always come to me if she needs me for anything. They say that if you really love something, set it free and if its meant to be it will always come back to you right? RIGHT?
DO YOU HAVE TROUBLE LETTING GO?
