Casa della Scala: The day before

Today is a sad day for me! Any Mommy out there would understand. My baby, Nicolette, is turning two tomorrow. Tomorrow she will no longer be my one year old toddler but a young preschooler. I have milked referring to her age for as long as I can, and tomorrow she will just be TWO! Even though she is wise beyond her age and acts as if she is three or four she will forever be my baby.

I have realized the more children you have the faster time flies by. I only have two, so I could not imagine having three or four children! I swear it was just yesterday that she surprised us with her arrival being 4 weeks early.

My labor with her was so fast, yet very vivid, that I will always remember every detail leading up to her arrival. My first labor was induced and a long waiting game that it is more cloudy. Maybe also has something to do with that fact that once you have a second child all memories from the first become harder and harder to remember.

I know this will not be the last time I say, "time is flying with my children" or "I can't believe you are __ years old" but today I will continue to say it because I'm allowed to on the last day of her being one!!
