Days like today make me very happy and very sad...
I'm blessed to see my kids grow and thrive into absolutely incredible little people, but I'm very sad to not see my babies be babies anymore.
Today was John John's first trip to the Dentist. We've spent days prepping for it, but it could really have gone in any direction depending on his mood at the moment. He was amazing! He climbed into the chair without hesitation. He followed every request with very little direction. He was charming and brave and funny...
Today was Ellie's millionth trip to the Dentist. After years of countless medical intervention, something as simple as a floride treatment can bring out the "White Coat" fear... She turned to me and told me to go play with John in the waiting room. She told me "I think it's ok if you go outside. I'll let you know if I need you."
I was absolutely blown away at the level of maturity and bravery that they both displayed today. I am so sad at the loss of my "babies", but I am so proud who they are becoming... When did that happen? How did that happen?
Everyday they just make me stop in my tracks... They truly are the Reasons Why I Love....
