Me and My Guy Dance

Last night Sophie and John attended a "Me & My Guy" dance at Oak Trace Elementary School (Sophie's school). This was a spring formal organized by the Girl Scout Council of Indiana. They had a fantastic time. I curled Sophie's hair for the first time and she loved it. She asked why I don't do that more often. Well, it really wasn't that difficult but it is more time consuming. She looked adorable and John looked very handsome. It was nice to see him in dress cloths. They both closed down the party and seemed to be beaming when they got home. Sophie was so excited when she got home because her ticket number was chosen in a drawing. She won a basket of goodies (Cinderella Barbie, princess Polly pockets, dress-up jewelry).

This is Sophie and Nicole. Nicole is one of Sophie's best buddies. Nicole and Sophie are in the same kindergarten class and are in Daisy's together.

Where has my baby girl gone?

Today I cried.....

Today I bought Sophie a new pair of running shoes. It was her first pair of shoes in "Youth" sizes (1Y) instead of children sizes. She wasn't with me when I bought them and I thought to myself "there is no way she'll be able to fit these"....they looked so BIG! But this was the next size up so I bought them anyway. After I picked her up from school she tried them on and they were perfect.

Well, then I came across her baby booties in my closet and the tears began to fall. All I could think about was the day we brought her home from the hospital and how small her hands and feet were and how precious she was. She's still my precious baby but she is growing up SO fast. It was just one of those moments for me when I realized just how fast time is moving.
