It’s so bittersweet. 💚 Watching your delicate newborn with scrunched-up legs turn into a curious toddler full of questions, and then into an independent school-age child eager to show off new skills, is one of the biggest joys and biggest heartbreaks of parenting. With each passing year, your child becomes someone both familiar and entirely new. The little hands that once fit so snugly in yours are now waving goodbye as they step further into the world, becoming themselves. Though each goodbye marks the end of a chapter, it also signals the beginning of an exhilarating new one. What do you miss that your child doesn’t do anymore?
