My baby will be turning 2 soon. It's so hard to believe that 2 years ago, I was holding a new born in my hand. It's such a strange feeling watching my little girl grow up and blossom into a beautiful Toddler.
The other day, we went to watch M play soccer at his home ground, although she was not interested in the game, she manage to cheer on her dad and was clapping her hands every time she sees him run past. She got bored after a while and decided she wanted to play with the swings and slides. I asked if she wanted me to hold her hands and go up the slides with her and she said No and pushed me aside.
One part of me was happy that she is confident enough to play on her own and make her own mistakes but the other part of me was really sad because she is slowly not needing me to do things for her anymore. I am going to be one of those over protective mothers aren't I? I will try not to smother her too much. I promise.
Since she didn't want any help getting up and down the slides, I took photos of her and let her have her space and watch from a distance and went to her when she needed me. Enjoy the photos while I sit in the corner trying not to cry. :)
Are you learning to let go slowly as well? Am I the only one who is having this problem?
