A Mama's Lament

Today I looked at my baby girl

sitting in a high chair at a local restaurant,

waving at everyone who walked by,

giving a good effort at feeding herself with a fork,

nodding "yes" when I asked if she was ready for bed,

and refusing any help as we walked up the stairs...

and realized something...

My baby is a toddler.

When did this happen?

Oh dear.
