I remember (like it was yesterday) holding Naomi for the first time and looking into those dark eyes and thinking "before I know it, she'll be ten." Seriously. I had that thought. And the time does go by that fast. A blink really.
While we were at the beach yesterday, I was thinking about Naomi growing up. How she may not want to play on the sandpile next year. And she's already told me that she's too big now to play in McDonalds Playplace. I can still remember the first time she got brave enough to go down the slide and how we cheered "Yeah! Naomi! You did it!!" LOL! Isn't it memories like that that make parenting so worth it? It's a little compensation for all the moments that aren't so wonderful. Yep. You get them all when you're a mom.
So a big thank you to my daughter, Naomi. I look forward to all our adventures in the next 10 (did I really say that? What am I - crazy??)!
