petra darling... you break my heart when ...:: you can't run away from me to play fast enough.
:: you learn something new so fast all on your own.
:: you understand what I ask you, and bring it, do it, stop it.
:: you understand what I ask you, and look at me, then ignore me completely.
:: you don't feel well, and I don't feel well, and you actually want to cuddle.
:: you run between me and the kitchen half a dozen times before I pay attention and realize you want a snack.
:: you run to daddy all smiles, and laugh and laugh for him all evening long.
:: you want to read books... just like me.
:: you stare at me with those bright blues.
petra darling... you break my heart when ...
:: I realize that you are growing up, and I can't stop it.
:: I realize that I can't protect you forever and always.
:: I realize that I only have a few short years to teach you everything you need to know.
:: I realize that I love you. Always. Even when it breaks my heart.
(perchance this is cliche. but oh, well, what are yah gonna do. thanks for tolerating)

Cliché, shmliché! If it's true it doesn't matter.
I love reading your blog! You always have fun, interesting things to say.
I am excited to see you guys too! Are you guys driving there?
makes me sad.
but happy.
but still kind of sad.
love it... it's exactly how i feel too.
Your words move me! I agree with every word! Our babies are getting so big, they are big girls now!
Can't wait to see you so soon! Utah here we come!
i wish we had a pause button on the remote of life. and while i love every new phase these kids jump into, i hate it at the same time. ya know? i am going to so miss these moments of the now but i force myself to hope that the moments to come are even sweeter.
