Thankfully for all, the slump is gone and this post will have a much happier tone.
Alexa has a couple more days as a 6 year old. Her 7th birthday is this Saturday. And we have quite a busy couple of days ahead of us. As of today, regular dance classes have ended for the year! (Hooray! Oops--did I say that out loud?) All that is left is one rehearsal and then this weekend she will be performing in 3 shows!! Somehow, we will fit in some birthday celebrations in there.
It is crazy to think that in a couple of days I will be the mother of a 7 year old. Where did the time go? How did it go by so fast? In the blink of an eye, my baby is not a baby, she is not a toddler, and she is not a preschooler, she is a beautiful little girl! And growing into such a wonderfully loving child!
Just in case I needed reminding of how big my girl is getting, today we received our dance pictures that we took a couple weeks ago...
I wish I could have time stay still... just a bit.
Time is flying by and I need to take a minute to stop and soak up all these moments--all the snuggles that I know are nearing an end, all the hugs and kisses that will soon be less and less. How do I keep all these moments--the moments of laughter, the moments of learning something new, the moments of bonding, the moments of appreciation, the moments that fill my heart with joy--how do I keep them all in the very tip of my memory?
I guess this post was more bittersweet than it was happy....
