Mommy's Pearls

I know I can't be the only one who looks at their child and imagines the kind of person she'll be when she's grown. I doubt I'll ever stop doing this even when she's grown, although if I'm still blogging about it when she's grown she's going to disown me or have me committed.

We just got pictures of Little Miss in her Easter dress and as I sit staring at her playing with the long chain of pearls that her Godmother bought me as a bridesmaid gift I wonder...

Some day, many years from now, when my "Little Miss" has grown to be just "Miss," will she adorn these pearls? Will her eyes still be filled with wonder like they are today? Will she still have that same simple smile that reminds me of her daddy?

Sometimes I look at her so long I think she may turn to me and say "mom, I'm not the sun, look away!!" I just can't help it sometimes, she's growing so fast, I feel like I'm going to miss something.  Do all parents feel this way or am I just my kids personal stalker?  I guess I'll just enjoy every second while I can. I'm sure that some day, not all that long from now she won't want her Daddy and I starring at her "all googly eyed" - she'll want a boy to do that - that will be the day I hear hearts break - Daddy's, then mine! For now we'll stare, ogle, adore, and possibly spoil (just a little), and enjoy.
