The Last Days of Two {Ordinary Moments Week 48 – 29/11/15}

Tonight I put my daughter to bed as one number and tomorrow morning she will wake up another number. My girl will be a 3 year old

At some points the days felt they would never end and as I sit and reflect it feels like one big surreal dream as I realise my little girl is no longer a baby girl or in the throes of toddlerhood. She is now entering childhood with a hint of toddler within her

As as of Monday J will be 3 years old. This time 3 years ago I finished a dog walk and my waters broke. A small bundle weighing 6lbs 11oz arrived some 5 hours later on her daddy’s birthday ready to change our lives forever

At this time of year I always find myself getting super emotional, not quite sure where the last 12 months have gone and I quite often sit and remember the tiny baby with super long legs in my arms. These long legs have remained one of her biggest features and my baby is now a struggle to cuddle in one arm, but is a walking, talking, lovely little girl who I cannot be more proud of

We came away to Somerset for the weekend to somewhere I took the hubster for his 30th and although it’s rained pretty much non stop we’ve had an amazing time. We celebrated J’s birthday on Saturday, conscious we would have a long drive home on her actual birthday and I’m so glad we did, it was such a lovely day with the hot tub, swimming and unwrapping of presents

The last 12 months have been kind, challenging and amazing, the last few days of J being 2 have been perfect. We drive back home on Monday morning with some great memories and sniffly noses

Happy 3rd birthday to my darling daughter, here’s to another amazing 12 months
