BabyGirl turns 6 next Tuesday, April 3.
It's a milestone I both celebrate and mourn because 6 means she's getting big, and it means she's not a little girl anymore. It's the end of an era. And because we've stopped trying to increase our family, I'll never get to parent a little girl again. Ever. She's done being a little girl and I'm done being the mom of a little girl. While I truly look forward to being the mom of a big girl, it sure was pretty great being the mom of a little girl. I celebrate how really cool she is, her curiosity and imagination, and what a neat kid she is. I can't wait to see more of who she's becoming.
And AJ turns 2 next Friday, April 6.
That's a milestone I can only mourn. It's another birthday we'll never celebrate with him, it's another year that we've missed him, it's another reminder that he's not our son.
BabyGirl said she wants a brother or sister for her birthday instead of gifts because a sibling "would be the bestest gift ever."
I think I'm going to go cry now.

BabyGirl has the BEST. BIRTHDAY. EVER.
Yes. We share a day. In her honor, I shall have a non-caff frappuccino with extra whip and tell myself it's for the 6 year old in me.
Happy Birthday to the both of you.
Kelly
