I asked Kirkley the other night t to stop growing so fast as we sat on the front porch rocking chairs of our new home. Her response was a sweet giggle and “I cannot do that, growing is too much fun.” Then I cried. I told her about how when she was a tiny baby I would sit in these very rocking chairs and sing to her while she slept. Then she proceeded to snuggle up to me and “sleep” while we sang Rock A Bye Baby and Twinkle Twinkle. I cried some more. I’m crying again as I recount that moment. I needed that moment. It made me realize how incredibly fast these little people grow. I know she’s only 3, but I swear to you last week she was only 3 months. And now I can’t stop crying.
