2 years 4 months and 9 days old

Yesterday I was feeling overwhelmed with the single mom deal. Lyla's mood was less than pleasant, and so was mine.... Then I caught a glimpse of her playing wearing only diapers , with pig tails , still using her paci since she had just woken up from nap and it hit me like a tons of bricks... She will never be 2 years 4 months and 9 days old again and I will never have this day back if I waste worrying about things that are out of my control. Before I know she will be all grown up and no more diapers, no more pig tails, no more paci... We managed to have a wonderful afternoon, laughing, having ice cream, playing, learning, jumping in bed, and helping each other, just the two of us and that was more than enough.
Love you my baby

You all have such great moments together--she is one lucky girl to have you as her Momma!

Wow - you are so zen. I'm glad you were able to turn the afternoon around.

So true! They put everything in perspective! Even when they're in a grumpy mood!! xoxo

I love it! Being a single mom is tough especially when you didn't plan for it to be that way. I did an almost identical thing on Saturday.
