Birthday funk

My baby girl's second birthday is on Wednesday and the Birthday Blues have begun.

I'm not sure what my deal is. Whenever the kids' birthdays approach I begin to get weepy and wistful. I look pictures to see how much they've changed, dwell on how fast the time has gone and long to bottle up all their sweet baby goodness to keep forever.

If history repeats itself (and I'm sure it will) I will likely cry myself to sleep Tuesday night. By Wednesday evening, Thursday at the latest, I'll be over my little funk and back to normal.

Until then...let the tears flow.
