We are turning over a new leaf in this house. Ellie has decided she is done with diapers. I have spent more time in the bathroom over the past 48 hours than I think I ever have, and talking about bodily functions has become the norm. I am pleased to say that we made it all day without any accidents (and of course, lots of chocolate with every successful trip). I know she is growing up but this is a mental challenge for me. I miss my baby girl. The one who was dependent on me for life for so long now helps herself to the pantry when she wants a snack. I've gone from questioning if it's okay to let her cry in her crib before falling asleep to questioning if it's okay that she spent all of her nap singing "Dora the Explorer" in her big girl bed. She used to cry when I dropped her off at church nursery, now she's upset if we miss a day at the gym and she doesn't get to see Miss Stacey. Now I know the secret behind the baby bug...as a mom, it's just too hard to let go.
