It has been HOT around these parts. If it weren't for our neighbor loaning us one of their a/c window units for the last few days, I may have died. Or have killed someone because I was that cranky.
So naturally I've been looking for indoors-y air conditioned fun for the kids.
Enter: Pizza Putt's play place.
Friday morning I took the kids to play.
Ana makes friends everywhere we go, so naturally when a group of school age kids came in, she was immediately involved in their play.
And guess what - she looked like one of them. Like a school-aged girl. When did this happen? When did that little baby in my arms become a kid?
I'm afraid that come August 31 (first day of school) I'm going to be an emotional wreck.
So today when she was sick with a stomach bug, (and after I got back from church) I let her lay her head on my lap and give me lots of hugs. I let her need me.
It felt good.

My "baby" starts school next month too. Then BOTH my babies will be big kids!! The years have definitely been too short.
I don't think you ever get to the point when you sometimes don't want to just lay by your mom and give her hugs and have her make things all better!
Isn't it a weird feeling when you suddenly realize that your baby is a kid? But it's also cool, seeing what they do as kids, then bigger kids, then teenagers and adults. I love the way parenting stays the same even as the kids grow and change. Somehow it still comes down to hugs and 'I Love You's.
