My baby girl is 4 today.
No matter what she will always be my baby.
4 years went fast, too fast.
I will no longer say, "I can't wait for..."
because whenever I say that I blink and whatever it was I couldn't wait for has come and gone.
Time already goes too fast to wish away the days for something else.
I couldn't wait for Carly to walk or talk and now I would give anything to have her crawl again,
just to have my baby a little longer.
Every day is something new with her....
A new facial expression or fluctuation with her voice.
Or a new song that she is learning in school.
Every day she amazes me with her fiesty personality.
Today I spent the day with her.
She slept in my bed since daddy is out of town.
I love waking up to her smiling and scooting right over to throw her arms around me.
There is NOTHING better than spending a day with this girl.
She had me laughing and admiring her all day.
I tried so hard not to tell her no today and when she wanted me to hold her to just pick her up!
One day I won't be able to hold her anymore and I will long to hold her again.
Carly can be ornery and grouchy but I would never trade a day with her for anything else.
She has made my life something I never thought it could be and has brought more happiness that I have ever known. I wish I could take away her struggles and health concerns. I would take it all for her if I could! But I think all she has gone through has made her the strong little girl she is today.
I love you, Carly!
I tried to pick my favorite picture of Carly. I ended up with 75...and that's out of 1200 pictures so that's pretty good!! But I goofed and pressed the wrong button so now there are only 25 left and I'm not about to go through all 1200 again!

"I can't wait until..." is the worst thing a parent can say. They're wishing away their child's life! Glad to hear there's another mom on the Never Wait Until... bandwagon :)
And happy birthday to little Carly! Four years of miracles in your lives :)
