Exercising Her Little Indepence

  

 
leaving me behind 
 
 finding her way on her own
 
 
 stopping by to play
 
just a second Mama
 
                                                                         let's go!

Sush is now shoving my hand away because she wanted to take another route going downstairs. She now knew options. It sting a little, knowing that my baby girl is not anymore baby and can now think for herself.

Am I dreading her new-found independence? Yes. Made me think of how many more years before she will eventually let go of my hand.

As Moms, this makes me happy and sad. I now feel a little of a Mom’s heart the moment they become empty nester. :(
