I’m in tears.

She just turned out two and she is a person already.

She cried when I left her at daycare the first day. I cried.

She cried again when I left her at daycare the following day. I didn’t.

My heart and soul were broken seeing her go, away from me and my care.

My mind reassured me that was for the best and that I would need to be strong. That’s life, right?

Well, my baby came home with some stuff to show me. Stuff that if shown at earlier years of my life by someone else I would have just looked for maximum of five minutes out of politeness. Stuff that wouldn’t have meant anything to me.

But it was from my baby, and that meant everything.

I couldn’t believe, but,… I cried. I cried at the thought of imagining her tiny body, her tiny hands and her still young brain going through the process of learning. She is a person already.

While her work still doesn’t reflect the perfect outcome, it represent to me her effort of doing it; her attitude when trying, and her happiness when showing it to me.

So here I present you what I would have called a mess prior to being a mom. But, since this is my baby’s mess, it is beautiful and just…perfect.

Now, pass me the recycling bin would’ya?
