The six year old is growing up so fast and coming into her own. She is getting so tall and has a beautiful free spirit about her, so much so that I am often in awe. We talk about so much on a daily basis that sometimes my husband just looks at me because he knows when I am fighting back tears. He gently reminds me that she is just growing up.
Last Friday we decided to let her get her first relaxer aka perm or chemically straightened. It is so cute, she looks like such a big girl. A true right of passage. Stick with me, I am taking the long way around to get to the point. Well after talking about how much she is growing and all we tell her it's time to part with the booster seat in the truck. Get this! She doesn't want too.
Underneath this big girl exterior lies my beautiful baby girl. On one hand I want to say, "Girl get out of that seat!" Then on the other hand I want her to feel comfortable in making her own decision when it comes to this. She has said before that she doesn't feel safe without it. However that was about 4 months ago, when she was significantly smaller.
The joys of motherhood. Letting them grow up is so hard, but it is so awesome to see it happen. I thank God that he picked her for me.

I'm addicted already! And I'm just blogging about my dogs...imagine how bad it will get when I actually have kids? :) But as for your blog, Trinity is a special one :) The best part of my day is saying goodbye to her with that big grin on her face!
Thanks! She totally adores you. I am glad we were blessed to have you in her life.
