I
certainly didn't give permission for Emma to become a big girl. It was
implied with the food we give and the expectations we set. You know, for
the baby prison we run. But, regardless of the reason, Emma is growing
way up.
She loves purses and her hair brush. She loves shoes and socks.
Well, ok, I love those things too. But I also appreciate basketball
shorts and watching college football.
Emma wore
a tunic and jeggings to school today. David does not know what jeggings
are. He's in for a treat. Yesterday, her Grandmommy came by with
new clothes (Christmas in October). Emma's teachers put her hair up on
either side of her head and we adorned them with hair bows. And shut the
front door it was so damn cute. And grown up.
And
I almost ripped them back out of her hair and shaved her head. Because
where is my baby.
I've come to the realization that I need change in my life. I need to
work towards being healthy again. I need to remember the good in
life. I need to let little things go. I need to work hard, play
hard. I need to let God be in control. Emma deserves it, David
deserves it and most importantly, I deserve it. Maybe a birthday present
to myself. And maybe a pedicure and massage too. Cause you can't
let things go without sparkly toes.
