It keeps hitting me that my baby girls are growing up. In just over two months, they will be three. How did that happen?

I had a dentist appointment (and will have another tomorrow, because this place is a little weird. Whatever) and while we were there, the assistant mentioned they usually start seeing patients at 3 years. Hey, that will be my girls in November. And preschools and a ton of activities and weren't they just coming home from the hospital yesterday????

They are so smart. Too smart sometimes! And getting so big! I have packed away almost all of their 2T clothes. They look , talk, act, and think like big girls now. 

It is kind of breaking my heart! 

But I am so proud of them. And in awe of just how amazing they are. I know I am being one of 'those moms' but I can't help it. My babies aren't babies anymore. Now they are these amazing kids. 

Other than that emotional-ness, or I guess falling right in line with that... We went to Walmart this evening to get light bulbs. And somehow found ourselves meandering down the toy aisles. The girls loved looking. J loved touching. And I started a list for birthday and Christmas gifts. Yes, a list. Because I am morphing into my oldest sister. Great!

But I did get a few ideas that hadn't crossed my mind until today. Nowhere near enough ideas because my crazy mother just had to have five children and my siblings feel the need to get a gift for their nieces yet they ask me for ideas. Gah! How about they all just plant a tree in honor of P and K turning 3??

Wow, my hippiness has hit a new high with that sentence!
