My little Mr K has turned one and the year has zoomed by, almost blink and miss. I wish i had stopped more often to watch the little hands and legs grow.Well, thats all about Mr. K who is busy working on his walking skills.
The older MissK on the other hand is as clingy as ever.Just when I have cribbed to the world about K being such a chipkoo she suddenly decides to sleep in her own bed.Why, because she turned 5 and that to her was a good enough reason.God knows we have tried to get her to sleep in her bed for long. The day after her 5th bday party she decided to sleep in her own bed.I was not impressed, i had heard that line before and it always came to a teary end. But this time she was serious, but I was sure she would be back in two ticks.I waited and she had actually gone of to sleep. As I watched her sleep peacefully I couldn't help but feel confused. This is what we were waiting for right? And here i could feel my wobbly lip and wet eyes. My girl was growing up too fast. As I walked to my bed I realized I couldn't remember when was the last time I had a whole side of the bed myself .I was loving the feeling of sleeping spread eagle after eons but couldn't help missing the warmth of the little body snuggling next to me.. No sooner I had these thoughts I felt the kiddo sneaking back into my bed, smiled to myself and settled in for a contented nights sleep much against hubby's protests to put her back.. There is still time, after all she is just five.
Thwack!! Got punched in the gut, saw some pretty constellations, cursed my moment of weakness and back to the battle ground to claim my side of the bed. Once again wishing the lil one gets independent but without going too far away. I just can't make up my mind.. So here I am in constant battle with myself and keep sending mixed signals to the kid confusing her all the time... I know I am doomed to be in constant despair ...
