Ok, I know this is a silly issue but I am almost going through a bit of a depression because it seems like my 3 year old is going from baby to little girl all at once. 2 months ago she was sleeping in a crib, using a pacifier, and wearing pull-ups and now all of a sudden now she's successfully wearing panties, gave all of her pacifiers to the "mi mi fairy", and sleeps well in her big girl bed. I am so proud of her for all of these accomplishments and I always encourage her to continue to grow but I'm starting to get depressed over losing my baby! I keep expecting that dreadful day to come when she will push me away and tell me not to touch her in public!! I know I'm being silly but is this at least sort of normal??
I feel the exact same way. My little girl is 2. I don't know what causes this but I bet this feeling is why so many mommys are ready to have more. I wish I had advice, mine is growing up too fast too.
I think it is normal. My three year old, to me, is getting bigger faster then my other son. I guess it is cause he wants to be like his big brothers. I feel like I am loosing my baby also. I try to baby him but he tells me to stop and goes and plays with his brothers. The only time that he really lets me baby him is when he is sick or really tired. I know what you are going through. But I am having another baby in July so I won't be to lonely for baby love. Plus, your kids always need some lovin, even baby lovin, sometimes. My 6 year old still comes and hugs me and sits in my lap sometimes. So it won't completely go away.
Theres some really good advise given yesterday for a mom with the same issue. Your not silly your a loving mom who is so touched by your daughter its normal. Just take lots of pics and make videos because it goes so quick. Its just life it goes too quick. This is part of the ups and downs of life here on Earth. I guess if we had it too perfect we wouldnt look above. So yes your okay and all of the normal loving caring moms go thru this.
I think this is all very normal. I have four daughters older than your daughter of course. I went through the same thing. My oldest is a US Marine at 19, then my 15 year old triplet daughters. They grow up so fast. I am facing the dreaded empty nest sydrome. I know that very soon my three will go to college or off on their own....it scares me to death. I have lived & worked my life for my girls & then in a poof they are gone. All I can say is enjoy ever moment with them because time flys.
