Is it normal to feel sad, almost like mourning, about your child turning 2? I felt extremely sad tonight just thinking about the fact that in just one more DAY, our little girl will be a 2 year old. I just love her being 1!! I know that there are going to be so many new and exciting things happening in the next year, but I just love counting down the months and once she turns 2, she's just...2. No more counting months. No more looking at milestones. No more "she's just a baby". She will officially be a "real" toddler. A toddler who cannot get by with "baby" stuff. A toddler who will be talking more than usual and being understood (not necessarily a bad thing;)). A toddler who will just be looped into the big, wide world of kids. Ugh. It really hurts.
I guess I am just mourning the fact that my "baby" will not be categorized as a baby any longer. Yeah, at 1, technically she wasn't, either, but since she wasn't walking at 1, it didn't feel like she wasn't a baby.
I guess just like everything else (ahem, me turning the big 3-0), I will just have to get over it.
My baby is growing up.:/
