Emma: Mommy, I'm going to walk. I'm not going to ride in a cart, but Nicky is going to ride in the cart because he's just a baby. I'm not a baby, and I'm going to walk because I am.... independent (pronounced perfectly I might add).
She then proceeded to walk through the sliding doors with a haughty swagger that I'd never seen in her step before. And with each step, she took a little piece of my heart with her.
Seriously. My barely 3 year old daughter has officially declared herself, "independent!?!" C'mon. I expected this at 16, but 3!?! Seriously.

Oh, no, I think it's pretty clear that it is defiant toddler behavior we ought to be expecting at 16.
Oh, oh, I know.My Journey recently turned 5, and as I watched her that day, reminiscing, I saw her do some very not-so-little- girl things. It is fun to watch them grow up, and at the same time ya wanna just grab on to their little hands and not let go!
