Packed Away

Last night I sold one of the last "baby" items that we still had in our house, our Pack N' Play.  I wasn't sad at all as I posted it on Craigslist and got it all cleaned up.  I wasn't even sad when the buyer came to pick it up. Suddenly this morning, I was standing in Mia's room, which now has lots of extra space, and it hit me that my girls aren't babies any longer.  Mia is running all over and saying a new word every couple of days.  Izzy is finishing her first year of preschool and is going to be starting soccer soon.  They're growing up.  My memories of them being tiny are packed away in my mind and I will treasure them forever.  Instead of packing the pack n' play away with those memories, it was time to let it go.  On to the next chapter!
