When Your Baby Turns 10.


You begin to wonder where the years have gone. You don't feel that old. But look at her. She's more young woman than baby, more like you every day. And then you begin to worry. Holy crap. The world is not the same one you grew up in and however will she make it out there in her own? And then you remember. She's only ten, not eighteen. You have eight more years to teach, to protect, to guide... and to lose sleep.
For today, enjoy the laughter and the smiles, the cake and the look on her face when she opens that pink Nano.
