Some one is growing up too fast~

Sarah Rosie
I want her to always love dresses from the second hand store!
I want her to always love funky little shoes...
"They will go with everything Meme, they are purple!"
I want her to always love to spend time with her Meme~
no matter what we are doing!
I want her to always remember she is beautiful
at 6
and
will still be when she is 15!
I want her to always know she is my Giraffe Gem,
the first gem I ever had!
I want her to always know she can come to her Meme
for unconditional love!
Because I love her up to God~
I want her to always love posing for my camera,
and to keep making signs for everything
that matters to her!
I want her to always remember to skip through life~
She jump roped her way out of our neighborhood to
the club for dinner with me!
She sat like a little lady at dinner.
We talked about school 
and her friends.
I want her to always know love and kindness 
from her peers.
I want her to keep this feeling of glee in her heart!
I want her to know she is adored!
And
I want her to
STOP
growing up so fast!

Sarah missed her little sister, Molly, so much over the weekend.
Molly was at Grandma Carols.
Sarah decided to make something nice for Molly because I gave her 
a giraffe bookmark and didn't have one for Molly.
She made her an Elephant~
which is Molly gem sign from me!
This girl has a big heart!
She wrote Molly a note...
It read...

Dear Molly, I got
a metal giraffe.  I really
felt bad for you.  So to 
fix that problem, I made
you a paper elephent.
Hey, want to know a 
secret?  Way bigger
than my giraffe!
I love you bunches!
Sarah, your only loving sister.

How amazing to me, that this little girl could be 
so like her mommy.

Sarah did cry herself to sleep on Friday night, missing her Mommy, Daddy and sister.
It was the first time I could not console her...
Meme wasn't "good" enough for the first time.
Meme cried that night too.

My little giraffe is growing up~

She is so lucky to have you! Reminds me of my weekends at Grandma's. Except I got to play Tiddly Winks, eat fudgesicles, and watch Golden Girls! Sarah will have those memories with you forever :)

I'm so lucky to have you, too. We just love you, Mem!

They grow up way too fast... Tony's Granny used to say 'Put a rock on their heads' she thought that would keep them from growing so darn fast.

It seriously doesn't... but we like our kiddos to stay little as long as possible.

That broke my heart. I remember I had to take Danny home in the fall because he missed his mommy and didn't want to stay for our sleepover. I was crushed-thought I was the sun and the moon to him. Erin tried to make me feel better saying he knew there was a party at their house and he thought he was missing out. But gosh... I felt so sad that Nonna just couldn't convince him to stay.....
