Devyn-All grown up! :(

This is for my husband and family who give me grief over not having enough pictures of Devyn. I was in tears going thru her pictures. I can't believe my baby is almost 4 and grown up! :( I was just thinking, another year almost gone by. Devyn will start preschool in September and I realized that I don't have a baby anymore--sad!

Devyn has wanted to be so much more independent lately. She has learned to do all of the things I used to have to do for her, and now all I hear is "Mommy, I can do that myself." It breaks my heart to hear that. I've realized that I need to be ready for the years to come and that I will need to keep growing with Devyn. But my attention and care will take on a different form. She will be all grown up sooner rather than later and I'm grateful to share in her simple joys and the simplicity and the innocence of her happiness.
