Slow down everyone, you're moving too fast...
Dear TIH,
I don't even try to hide the fact that I was not really a baby person before I became a mother. Whenever I would hold a friend's baby before becoming a mother myself, it was as though the baby could sense I was uncomfortable and he or she would promptly scream their heads off. Even in the first weeks of your life, every time I held your tiny little body close to mine, I was so scared that I was "doing it wrong," that I would "break" you somehow, that you also could sense I was really not any good at this.
On one such occasion, feeling the anxiety which was all too familiar in those days, I had finally gotten you to go to sleep in the middle of the day. I looked down at the smallness of you and was dumbfounded how such a tiny little thing could be so overwhelming for me. I felt a tear roll down my cheek and before I knew it, I was silently crying as I held you. I felt like SUCH a failure. And I whispered to you, "I'm sorry about all this. I can't wait until you get bigger."
And, you did get bigger.
You grew and grew and grew.
You learned. You walked and talked and did all of the things I was longing for when you were that tiny baby in my arms.

It all happened SO fast.
And today - you are four.
I love that you're growing. Watching you grow is one of the great privileges of my life. And, I love that we've gotten to grow together...
