Changes & Progress

I guess I’m supposed to be happy about progress…and I am, really, I am. There are things that I will love about the future change this progress promises, and facts that will make my heart sad. I need to focus on all of the good. Let me explain…
Last night brought something new. Cooper wakes me saying “Mommy, I’m wet!” Oh no, here we go, change the sheets again! I start feeling and I feel nothing. Lamp goes on and the bed is dry. “I have to potty!” screams Cooper. We head to the bathroom sure enough; Cooper has woken up to go to the bathroom instead of wetting his diaper. Wow! I cannot believe it is finally happening and at the same time, I cannot believe that before long, there will be no need for diapers in our house. That could really get to me if I dwell on it because I just get so sad when I think about them being big and us not having babies anymore. At least with Claudia being so grown and so mature, I’ve still had Cooper who is just a baby to me. Time tells me a different story and reminds me that he is also changing so fast and my baby is just a memory now because he is all boy. I just can't figure out where these little ones have gone...
