second beach trip was a success, she loved it!
No one could have begun to prepare me for the awful thing that my daughter has to endure called teething. Poor thing has no idea why she is in pain and there's really nothing I can do to explain it to her, all she knows is that "mom makes me feel better so I need her to hold me constantly while I wiggle, fuss and stay awake for the majority of the day." Probably a bit of an exaggeration but, kind of how I feel today...and yesterday...and the day before...
About anything that is difficult with babies/kids, people tell you, "this too shall pass" or "its just a stage, it will be over soon" and while these words are comforting, when I dwell on the desire for this stage to pass, I realize that I am going to miss whats in front of me. I don't want to look back and think that I missed any part of my child's life because I was excited for what she would do next. I want to embrace her right now, in this crazy teething sleepless stage where she wants to do so much but is limited without mobility.
I don't want her to BE anything else than who she is right now and I want to love her for all that she is now because she is perfect NOW, not just when this stage is over.
Lord help me, this is hard, I need sleep.
