my baby is growing up so fast

I wasn’t prepared for my youngest to no longer be ‘the baby’

She seemed too small to be a "big" anything at that point. It felt like only yesterday that we celebrated her first birthday. It was hard to imagine her as anything but the littlest.

You’re growing so fast my baby, I wish I could slow down time

You just keep getting bigger, doing more, needing me less.

Be a big boy when you’re ready

"Be a big boy when you're ready. I won't rush you anymore. I will hold you when you ask me, and I'll still let you need me a little more."
