Growing Up Started Today

We had a moment today that makes me a little bit sad. When we lay Vance down to go to sleep he no longer stands up and yells for me or for Jordan, now he lays there with his 5 binkies and says, " luh you , nigh nigh, bye" over and over. I got teary only because I think that was the first step to his independence from us. He thinks that he is big enough to go to sleep on his own and be in a dark room by himself, which is a good thing, but it is hard for me to let go of certain things sometimes. When I put him to sleep, I feel like it wraps up the day, whether it was a crappy day or a great day, it always ends the day on a positive loving note. I don't want that to change so I will rock my baby boy until he no longer lets me:)

Now I am going to get a sugar-free Jello to ease my heart a little and help me focus on something delicious that can get rid of these tears and make me happy!
